Discussion
Which of the following Institute has recently developed genetically-modified cotton varieties ?
Answer: B
The institute is Punjab Agricultural University.
Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana, developed Bt cotton varieties carrying the insect-resistance gene, such as PAU Bt 1, among the first genetically modified cotton varieties bred by a public-sector institution in India, where Bt cotton had until then come almost entirely as private-sector hybrids.
G.B. Pant University, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University and IARI work on cotton and on biotechnology, but the genetically modified cotton varieties the question refers to are PAU's.
