Artificial Seeds

Artificial seeds were first introduced in 1970 as a novel analogue to plant seeds. The production of artificial seeds is useful for plants which do not produce viable seeds. It represents the method to propagate these plants.

Do you think the production of artificial seeds are practically possible ? If yes how are they beneficial ?

Yes, I think producing artificial seeds is definitely possible and really helpful.
They allow us to grow plants that don’t make good seeds naturally which means we can save and multiply rare or valuable plants more easily. It’s a smart way to support agriculture and preserve plant species that might otherwise be hard to grow.

But won’t be there any risk to it ?

Yes, artificial seeds are practically possible and already used in labs and horticulture.
They help propagate plants that don’t produce viable seeds like some medicinal or hybrid varieties. They allow for mass production, easy storage, and transport of elite plant clones. This can be especially beneficial in conserving rare or endangered plant species.
In future, they might even support food security and climate-resilient agriculture.

Yes, there are risks like genetic instability, lower survival rates compared to natural seeds, and potential ecological imbalance if not regulated. But with controlled use and strict biosafety measures, the benefits can outweigh the risks in specific applications.

yes the production of the artificial seeds is possible especially in the fruits like banana and grapes{seeded and non seeded }. This will benefit in modern agriculture .
