Reason: Phytophthora palmivora is a mycoherbicide.
  • A

  • ✓
    Both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
  • C
    Assertion is true but reason is false.
  • D

✓

Answer

Correct option: B.
Both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

An organism which controls or destroys unwanted plant growth without harming the useful plant is called bioherbicide. The first bioherbicide happened to be mycoherbicide $($fungal herbicide$)$. It was elaborated in $1981$. This herbicide is Phytophthora pulmivora. The fungus does not allow the Milkweed vine to grow in citrus orchards.

Read the following and answer any four questions from $(i)$ to $(v)$ given below:
The endosperm makes the main source of food for the embryo. Generally the endosperm nucleus divides after the division of the oospore, but in several cases the endosperm is formed to a great extent even before the first division of the oospore. There are three general types of endosperm formation: $(a)$ nuclear type, $(b)$ cellular type and $(c)$ helobial type. The endosperm is usually triploid, but haploid endosperm is also found. Endosperm may either be completely consumed by the developing embryo before seed maturation, or it may persist in the mature seed.

  1. Pin us.
  2. Cauliflower.
