Question

Describe how nematode resistant transgenic plants have been produced?

Answer 1

Plant parasitic nematodes are major threat
for crop plants and cause severe economic
losses worldwide annually. Various
strategies deployed for the control of these
notorious parasites has resulted either in
limited success, or having huge negative
impact on environment. RNA interference
(RNAi) is a gene-silencing phenomenon that
is conserved in various eukaryotes.
Experimentally induced RNAi is highly

Answer 2

Nematode resistant transgenic plants have been produced by the process RNAi or RNA interference. This is the process where the gene responsible for the damage is being silenced by producing genes that counteract with the gene.
