Meristem culture is especially important to obtain:
1. Drought resistant plants
2. Virus free plants
3. Biofortified plants
4. Androgenic haploids
Consider the following statements:
I: | Hairy leaves are associated with resistance to jassids in cotton and cereal leaf beetle in wheat. |
II: | Low aspartic acid, high nitrogen, and sugar content in maize leads to resistance to maize stem borers. |
III. | In wheat, solid stems lead to non-preference by the stem sawfly and smooth-leaved and nectar-less varieties of cotton do not attract bollworms. |
Which of the above statements are true?
1. I and II only
2. I and III only
3. II and III only
4. I, II and III
