Insect resistance in host crop plants may be due to morphological, biochemical, or physiological characteristics. Identify the correct statements:
I: | Hairy leaves in several plants are associated with resistance to jassids in cotton and cereal leaf beetle in wheat. |
II: | In wheat, solid stems lead to non-preference by the stem sawfly and smooth-leaved and nectar-less cotton varieties do not attract bollworms. |
III. | High aspartic acid, low nitrogen and sugar content in maize lead to resistance to maize stem borers. |
1. | Only I and II | 2. | Only I and III |
