Question:

The yellow mosaic virus resistant variety Parbhani Kranti is the new variety of _______

Options:

Okra

Flat bean

Chilli

Cowpea

Correct Answer:

Okra

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) → Okra

Several wild relatives of different cultivated species of plants have been shown to have certain resistant characters but have very low yield. Hence, there is a need to introduce the resistant genes into the high-yielding cultivated varieties. Resistance to yellow mosaic virus in bhindi (Abelmoschus esculentus) was transferred from a wild species and resulted in a new variety of A. esculentus called Parbhani kranti.
