उत्तर
- Development of morphological characters like hairy leaves in cotton and wheat develop vector resistance from jassids and cereal leaf beetle, respectively.
- Solid stem in wheat leads to resistance to stem borers.

- The nectar-less cotton having smooth leaves develop resistance against bollworms.
