Genes for capsid protein

Satellite RNA

All of these

Gene for nucleocapsid protein

Plant genomics lags behind similar efforts in animals and microorganisms

All of these

Researchers are busy in trying to determine the genome of the potato plant

Researchers can make use of genomic information even if the entire genome of an organism is not known

mibridization

rhizosecretion

microcosm establishment

bioremediation

Clonal propagation

Cybridization

Protoplast fusion

Mutant selection

Bt insect resistance toxin

increased methionine content

herbicide resistance

none of these

these provide no protection at all against pathogens

these proteins trigger the production of other antimicrobial defenses

expression of one PR protein provides high levels of protection against many pathogens

expression of two PR proteins provides some protection against a few pathogens

Public preference for organic vegetables

Crops are killed by a virus

Public concern about safety of synthetic pesticides

Crops are damaged by frost
