Full Description
This exam investigates the genetic mechanisms underlying disease resistance in plants. Topics will include identification of resistance genes and their role in developing resistant crop varieties.
Addressing disease resistance is critical in agriculture, as it affects crop yield stability and food security. Understanding these genetic bases can lead to the development of more resilient crops.
Candidates will be assessed on their verbal capabilities to describe the mechanisms of disease resistance, discuss specific examples of resistant varieties, and evaluate their efficacy in field conditions.
Candidates may also discuss the implications of climate change on disease resistance and potential breeding solutions.
Sample Questions
- What are the key genetic mechanisms that confer disease resistance in crops?
- How do specific resistance genes contribute to the overall resilience of food crops?
