Dear Student,

The wheat stem sawfly is a grassfeeding insect It causes damage to
the wheat crop in the northern plains Plant breeding is used to
obtain plants with desired characteristics which are economically
beneficial It causes morphological, physiological or biochemical
changes in the host plant to change the preference of insects By
using plant breeding, the stem of wheat is modified to make it
solid so that sawfly get few or no larvae Absence of larvae leads
to the death of sawflies Thus, the solid stem becomes a
non-preferable plant for stem sawfly insect
