Question

Which is not the characteristic of a transgenic crop?

  1. Herbicide resistant 
  2. Bt insect resistance toxin 
  3. Increased methionine content 
  4. None of these 

hintHint:

None of these

The correct answer is: None of these


    • Transgenic crops with auxinic herbicide resistance, as well as herbicides that inhibit acetolactate synthase, acetyl-CoA carboxylase, and hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase, will be accessible in the next years, stacked with glyphosate and/or glufosinate resistance.
    • One of the first successes of plant biotechnology was the development and commercialization of transgenic crops with insect pest resistance.
    • Total methionine content in transgenic soybean seeds rose by up to 15% as compared to wild type plant.
