Zoology - Biotechnology and Its Applications Question with Solution | TestHub

$\mathrm{RNAi}$or$\mathrm{RNA}$interference or anti-sense$\mathrm{RNA}$is a naturally occurring mechanism that leads to the “silencing” of genes. In consequence, the respective protein is no longer synthesized. Several nematodes parasitize a wide variety of plants. A nematodeMeloidogyne incognitainfects the roots of tobacco plants causing a great reduction in yield.  The most cost-effective and sustainable management tactic for preventing such damage is by using$\mathrm{RNAi}$mechanism by developing genetically engineered or transgenic plants.
