How is the resistance of the host plant towards a pathogen determined?(a) By looking at the leaves(b) By researching the seed(c) By studying the genetic constitution of the plant(d) By cutting the stemI got this question in semester exam.This intriguing question originated from Plant Breeding for Disease Resistance topic in division Strategies for Enhancement in Food Production of Biology – Class 12

Answer»

Right option is (c) By studying the genetic CONSTITUTION of the PLANT

To ELABORATE: Resistance of the host plant is the ability to prevent the pathogen from CAUSING disease and is determined by the genetic constitution of the host plant. Before breeding is undertaken, it is important to know about the CAUSATIVE organism and the mode of transmission.
