With reference to the Genetically Modified GM Mustard Hybrid DMH 11 developed in India, consider the following statements:
It has the genes of a soil bacterium that give the plant the property of pest-resistance to a wide variety of pests.
GM mustard has the gene that make it herbicide tolerant.
GM mustard has been developed jointly by the IARI and Punjab Agricultural University.
How many of the statements given above is/are correct?
Only One
Only Two
All Three
None of the above
Only statement 2nd is correct.
GM mustard has the genes of a soil bacterium but it is under trial phase and there is no complete study that provides information that has property of pest-resistance to a wide variety of pests.
IGE mustard hybrid DMH-11 contains the bar gene conferring resistance to the herbicide Basta (phosphinothricin).
It has mainly two genes (‘barnase’ and ‘barstar’) that allow for cross-pollination and hybridisation in mustard, which is largely a self-pollinating plant because of its individual flowers containing both female and male reproductive organs.
GM mustard was developed by scientists at Delhi University and the project was part-funded by the Department of Biotechnology, a division of the Science Ministry.
Hence option 1st is correct.
