Question
Which is not the characteristic of a transgenic crop?
- Herbicide resistant
- Bt insect resistance toxin
- Increased methionine content
- None of these
Hint:
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.
