Your attempt
Choose an option before the answer.
Consider the following techniques/phenomena:
1. Budding and grafting in fruit plants
2. Cytoplasmic male sterility
3. Gene silencing
Which of the above is/are used to create transgenic crops?
Pick an option to check yourself. The answer stays hidden until you attempt.
• Correct Answer: B
• Cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) and gene silencing (RNAi) are biotechnological tools used in transgenic crop development.
• Budding and grafting are conventional vegetative propagation methods, not transgenic techniques.
