Which of the following describes the 'Vitrification' (or Hyperhydricity) physiological disorder in culture?

Correct answer: Glassy, water-soaked appearance of tissues
Vitrification occurs due to high humidity and low light in the culture vessel, leading to abnormal stomata and poor cuticle development. This results in brittle, translucent shoots that often fail to survive acclimatization.
