Answer:
A nematode Meloidogyne incognita infects the roots of tobacco plants and causes a great reduction in yield. A novel strategy was adopted to prevent this infestation which was based on the process of RNA interference (RNAi). Using Agrobacterium vectors, nematode-specific genes were introduced into the host plants.
