Using biotechnology,plant breeders attempt to find and incorporate specific resistance genes into plants that lack them.Once a plant has been given a resistance gene,it will have indefinite protection from the associated pathogen.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Pathogens can evolve and overcome the resistance provided by a single gene, so it is important for plant breeders to continually develop new resistance strategies.
