How is a transgenic tobacco plant protected against Meloidegyne incognitia? |
|
Answer» Meloidegyne incognitia, a nematode infects the roots of tobacco plants thereby causing reduction in yield. RNA interference (RNAi) process is used to develop transgenic tobacco plant that protects the plant from Meloidegyne incognitia. This method involves silencing of a specific mRNA due to complementary dsRNA molecule that binds to and prevents translation of the mRNA (silencing). |
