Solve this:
Q. Which of the following has been covered under the broad patent category?
(a) Triticum
(b) Oryza
(c) Pisum sativum
(d) Brassica
Rice, i.e.?Oryza sativa,?is one of the most important of cereal crops and feeds over one third of the worlds population. It was the first major food crop whose?genomehas been completely sequenced. The genome?sequencing?has provided a wealth of data related to the?functions?of its various?genes, which have their homologues in other plants. This can help improve crop characteristics such as high yield,?resistance?to pests. Hence rice was guaranteed the broad patent category.
On the other hand, wheat (Triticum), pea (Pisum sativum?) and?Brassica?genomes have not been fully sequenced.
Hence, option 'B' is correct.
