A) Disease resistance
B) Prepared by Bacillus thuringiensis
C) It is recombinant type
D) No such plant is known
Correct Answer: D
Solution :
Gene transfer technology (recombinant DNA technology) has enabled mobilization of genes from one organism into the genome of any -plant species. A number of crop plants are being engineered to resist infectious pathogens and stress conditions. Insect resistant transgenic plants contain either a gene from Bacillus thuringiensis or some other. The cry gene of B. thuringiensis produces a protein which forms crystalline inclusions in the bacterial spores. These crystal proteins are responsible, for the insecticidal activities of bacterial strains. Bt cotton contains a gene from B. thuringiensis.
