7. Virus resistant plants
TMV resistant tobacco and tomato plants are produced by introducing viral coat proteins. Other viral resistant transgenic plants are (a) Potato virus resistant potato plants (b) RSV resistant rice, (c) YMV resistant black gram and (d) YMV resistant green gram etc.
8. Pest resistant plants
There is clearly a benefit to farmers, if transgenic plants are developing a resistant into specific pest. For example, Papaya-ring-spot-virus resistant papaya has been commercialized and grown in Hawaii since 1996.12 There may also be a benefit to the environment, if the use of pesticides is reduced. Transgenic crops, containing insect resistance genes from Bacillus thuringiensis, have made it possible to reduce significantly the amount of insecticide, applied on cotton in the USA. However, populations of pests and disease, causing organisms, adapt readily and become resistant to pesticides.
