Statement Based +4 −1

Given below are two statements

Statement (I) : Vertical resistance is exploited in agriculture by pathologists and breeders for crop improvement.
Statement (II) : Vertical resistance is mostly monogenic in nature.

In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

नीचे दो कथन दिए गए हैं

कथन (I) : फसल सुधार के लिए रोगविज्ञानियों और प्रजनकों द्वारा कृषि में ऊर्ध्वाधर प्रतिरोध (Vertical resistance) का उपयोग किया जाता है।
कथन (II) : ऊर्ध्वाधर प्रतिरोध प्रकृति में अधिकांशतः एकलजीनी (monogenic) होता है।

उपरोक्त कथनों के आलोक में, नीचे दिए गए विकल्पों में से सबसे उपयुक्त उत्तर चुनिए:

Vertical Resistance in Crop Improvement:

  • Statement (I) is TRUE: Vertical (race-specific / qualitative) resistance confers near-complete immunity against specific pathotypes or physiological races of a pathogen. Plant breeders and pathologists widely introgress vertical resistance genes into high-yielding crop cultivars because of their striking, clean-cut phenotypic protection.
  • Statement (II) is TRUE: Vertical resistance is predominantly controlled by one or a few major genes (monogenic or oligogenic inheritance) following classic Mendelian inheritance and conforms to Flor's gene-for-gene model.
Therefore, both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are true. Correct Answer: Option 1.

विस्तृत व्याख्या:

Vertical Resistance in Crop Improvement (ऊर्ध्वाधर प्रतिरोध - Van der Plank, 1963):

  • Statement (I) is TRUE: Vertical (race-specific / qualitative) resistance confers near-complete immunity against specific pathotypes or physiological races of a pathogen. Plant breeders and pathologists widely introgress vertical resistance genes into high-yielding crop cultivars because of their striking, clean-cut phenotypic protection.
  • Statement (II) is TRUE: Vertical resistance is predominantly controlled by one or a few major genes (monogenic or oligogenic inheritance) following classic Mendelian inheritance and conforms to Flor's gene-for-gene model.
Therefore, both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are true. Correct Answer: Option 1.
