A.
Escherichia coli and Agrobacterium tumefaciens
Escherichia coli and Agrobacterium tumefaciens are the microbes found to be very useful in genetic engineering.
E. coli is a motile, gram negative, rod shaped bacterium which is a normal inhabitant of human colon. It is most extensively used in bacterial genetics and molecular biology.
Agrobacterium tumefaciens is a soil bacterium. It has Ti plasmid (Tumour inducing plasmid) and it can be used for the transfer of a desired gene in dicot plants.
Which one of the following proved effective for biological control of nematodal diseases in plants?
Pisolithus tinctorius
Pseudomonas cepacin
Gliocladium virens
Gliocladium virens
Farmers in a particular region were concerned that pre-mature yellowing of leaves of a pulse crop might cause decrease in the yield. Which treatment could be most beneficial to obtain maximum seed yield?
Frequent irrigation of the crop
Treatment of the plants with cytokinins alongwith a small dose of nitrogenous fertilizer
Removal of all yellow leaves and spraying the remaining green leaves with 2,4,5- trichlorophenoxy acetic acid
