Genetic modification in plants can be used to:
1. increase the efficiency of mineral usage by plants.
2. reduce the reliance on chemical pesticides.
3. help to reduce post-harvest losses.
4. make crops more tolerant to abiotic stresses.
5. enhance nutritional value of food.
Select the correct answer using the code given below.
1, 2, 3, 4 and 5
2, 3 and 4 only
1, 2 and 3 only
1, 3 and 4 only
All the statements are correct.
The followings are applications of GM plants:
(i) make crops more tolerant to abiotic stresses (cold, drought, salt, heat).
(ii) reduce reliance on chemical pesticides (pest-resistant crops).
(iii) help to reduce post-harvest losses.
(iv) increase efficiency of mineral usage by plants (this prevents early exhaustion of fertility of soil).
(v) enhance nutritional value of food, e.g., Vitamin ‘A’ enriched rice. In addition to these uses, GM has been used to create tailor-made plants to supply alternative resources to industries, in the form of starches, fuels and pharmaceuticals.
