Identify the incorrect statement regarding the use of RNAi for creating transgenic tobacco plants resistant to Meloidogyne incognita:

1. Agrobacterium tumefaciens was used to transform the plant cells
2. Double-stranded RNA was introduced into the plant cells
3. Double-stranded RNA was formed in the plant cells that initiated RNAi
4. A specific mRNA of the nematode was silenced with the help of dsRNA

RNA interference involves silencing a specific mRNA by:
 

1. interfering with its post transcriptional modification
2. not allowing the transport of mRNA from nucleus to cytoplasm
3. a dsRNA that binds to it and prevents its translation
4. post translational degradation of the protein
