Virus resistant transgenic plants can be developed by the expression of
-
- Cowpea trypsin inhibitor
- Crystalline toxin protein
- Defective movement protein
- Snowdrop lectin
Correct Option: C
Cowpea Trypsin Inhibitor : The explanation for this is called co-suppression. The plant has ways of knowing that the viral coat protein should not be produced, and it has ways of eventually shutting down the protein’s expression. When the virus tries to infect the plant, the production of its essential coat protein is already blocked.
