Question

Himgiri developed by hybridization and selection for disease resistance against rust pathogens is a variety of(a) chilli (b) maize(c) sugarcane (d) wheat

Answer 1

Starting in the 1960's, and increasingly in the 1990's, plant breeders undertook efforts to produce hybrid wheat varieties with the goals of improving yield and disease resistance. Both worthwhile goals but it's possible that wheat hybridization may have led to the rapidly growing prevalence of celiac disease today.
