Assertion: FlavrSavr, a transgenic tomato which remains fresh and retains their flavour for long time.
Reason: Production of polygalacturonase enzyme, which degrades pectin, is blocked in FlavrSavr.

Correct answer: option 1
FlavrSavr is a transgenic tomato variety. Fruits of this variety remain fresh and retain their flavour for much longer than normal fruits. It happens due to the blockage of the production of pectin degrading enzyme polygalacturonase.
