The genetically-modified (GM) brinjal in India has been developed for:
1. insect-resistance
2. enhancing self-life
3. enhancing mineral content
4. drought-resistance
Transgenic plants are:
| 1. | produced by a somatic embryo in artificial medium |
| 2. | generated by introducing foreign DNA into a cell and regenerating a plant from that cell |
| 3. | Produced after protoplast fusion in artificial medium |
| 4. | grown in artificial medium after hybridization in the field |
| 1. | Flavr savr tomatoes |
| 2. | Starlink maize |
| 3. | Bt soybean |
| 4. | Golden rice |
| 1. | eliminate weeds from the field without the use of manual layout |
| 2. | eliminate weeds from the field without the use of herbicides |
| 3. | encourage eco-friendly herbicides |
| 4. | reduce herbicide accumulation in food particles for health safety |
Golden rice is a promising transgenic crop. When released for cultivation, it will help in:
1. alleviation of vitamin-A deficiency
2. pest resistance
3. herbicide tolerance
4. producing a petrol-like fuel from rice
