Q. A novel strategy was adopted to prevent $Meloidegyne\ incognitia$ infection in tobacco plants that was based on the process of

A) DNA interference
B) RNA interference
C) RNA initiation
D) DNA initiation
Explanation

RNA interference. Nematodes is a group of organisms, which parasites a large number of plants and animals including human being. One of the common nematodes Meloidegyne incognitia infects the roots of tobacco plants and causes a great loss by causing reduction in yield. This infestation was prevented by using a novel strategy, which was based on the process of RNA interference (RNAi). RNA is powerful reverse genetic tool to study gene function
