Q.1 (ii) The transgenic plant Tomato contains transgene _____ for the production of flavonoids.
A. Phytoene synthase
B. Ferritin
C. Chalone isomerase
D. Phytase
Best answer
Answer: C. Chalone isomerase
Answer: (c) Chalone (chalcone) isomerase
Transgenic tomato carrying the chalcone isomerase gene produces more flavonols (flavonoids), which act as antioxidants. Phytoene synthase is used in Golden rice (beta-carotene), ferritin for iron-rich rice and phytase for better phosphorus availability.
