Which biotechnology application can help in developing drought-resistant crops?
Correct Answer: Gene silencing
- Step 1: Understand that drought-resistant crops are plants that can survive with less water.
- Step 2: Learn about gene silencing, which is a technique used to turn off specific genes in a plant.
- Step 3: Identify the genes that are responsible for how a plant responds to water stress and how it retains water.
- Step 4: Use gene silencing to target and turn off these specific genes in the plant.
- Step 5: Grow the modified plants and test if they can survive better in dry conditions.
