With reference to agriculture in India, how can the technique of ‘genome sequencing’, often seen in the news, be used in the immediate future?
1. Genome sequencing can be used to identify genetic markers for disease resistance and drought tolerance in various crop plants.
2. This technique helps in reducing the time required to develop new varieties of crop plants.
3. It can be used to decipher the host-pathogen relationships in crops.

• Correct Answer: D
• Genome sequencing identifies QTLs for disease resistance and drought tolerance; accelerates breeding via Marker-Assisted Selection (MAS).
• It also deciphers host-pathogen molecular interactions for targeted crop protection strategies.
