Question

Which of the following is an application of RNAi in plant biotechnology?

Options

• Increasing photosynthetic efficiency

• Gene mapping and annotation in plants

• Accelerating seed germination

• Enhancing root development

Answer 1

RNAi serves as a tool for gene mapping and annotation in plants. This application allows researchers to systematically silence genes and observe their roles in plant physiology and development, thereby creating functional gene maps.
