Question:
How has the use of \textit{Agrobacterium as vector helped in controlling \textit{Meloidogyne incognita} infestation in tobacco plants? Explain in correct sequence.}
How has the use of \textit{Agrobacterium as vector helped in controlling \textit{Meloidogyne incognita} infestation in tobacco plants? Explain in correct sequence.}
Show Hint
RNA interference (RNAi) is a biotechnological tool that uses double-stranded RNA to silence specific genes, providing resistance against pests like nematodes.

Solution and Explanation
A nematode-specific gene is introduced into the tobacco plant using \textit{Agrobacterium tumefaciens}.
The plant produces double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), initiating RNA interference (RNAi).
RNAi silences the vital genes of \textit{Meloidogyne incognita}, reducing infestation and damage.
