How has the use of agrobacterium as vectors helped in controlling meloidegyne incongnitia infestaeion in tobacco plants ? Explain in correct sequence

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

An nemotode meloidegyne incongnitia infects the roots of tabacco 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 agrobactierium vectors nematode specific gnes were introduced in ot the host plants These two RNA's being complementary to each other formed a double stranded (dsRNA) that inititated RNAi and thus sileced specifice mRNA of the nematode. The transgenic plant therfore got itself protected form the parasite.
