In tobacco plants, infection of I in its II has significantly reduced the yield. This infection can be prevented by a strategy based on III which is a method of cellular defense in all the IV organisms.
Identify the option that correctly indicates I, II, III and IV respectively.
I | II | III | IV | |
(a) | Agro-bacterium | stem | RNA interference | prokaryotic |
(b) | Meloidegyne incognitia | stem | gene therapy | eukaryotic |
(c) | Meloidegyne incognitia | roots | RNA interference | eukaryotic |
(d) | Agro-bacterium | roots | gene therapy | prokaryotic |

Verified by ExpertsC
• A nematode Meloidegyne incognitia infects the roots of tobacco plants and causes a great reduction in yield.
• A novel strategy was adopted to prevent this infestation which was based on the process of RNA interference (RNAi).
• RNAi takes place in all eukaryotic organisms as a method of cellular defense.
