Question

The antisense construct of ACC synthase gene (RNA) was used in production of (A) Bt maize (B) Bt cotton (C) Golden rice (D) Flavr savr (tomato)

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

The Flavr savr (tomato) was the first commercially grown genetically engineered food, granted a license for human consumption. It is the result of antisense RNA technology. Antisense construct of ACC synthase gene was transferred in tomato, which reduced ethylene production to < 1% of the normal (ethylene is the cause of ripening in foods).
