A crop scientist spliced genes for disease resistnace into Ti-plasmids and then treated tomato plants with the plasmids. Some parts of some plants resisted the disease, but most of the plants eventually died. The researcher could increase his chances of sucess by :

In the table given below, some of the crop plants, their diseases and the pathogens are given. Match these three columns and identify the correct choice.

Name the technology and write the procedure that can help a scientist to recover virus free sugarcane plants from diseased canes for his crop breeding experiments

Read the following statements about genetically engineered plants. Select the ones that are advantageous . I. The increased yield from genetically engineered plants allows a smaller area of land to be farmed. II. Generally engineering plants may have improved nutritional value . III. Some plants can be genetically modified to give resistance to diseases. IV. There is more research needed on the long term effects of genetically engineered crops on the environment V. The use of genetically engineered crops may explain the increase in allergies in children
