Q.Which of the following techniques was used to get yellow mosaic virus resistant mung lentil?

Yellow-mosaic-virus-resistant mung bean was obtained by mutation breeding.

Mutation breeding is a method of introducing desirable traits by inducing mutations (using chemicals or radiation) and then selecting and multiplying the plants showing the desired character. In mung bean (moong), resistance to yellow mosaic virus and powdery mildew was …

Himgiri is a disease-resistant wheat variety bred to withstand leaf rust, stripe rust and hill bunt, developed as part of India's plant-breeding programmes to boost wheat production.

Plant breeding programmes in India developed several high-yielding, disease-resistant wheat varieties. Himgiri is one such variety, bred for resistance against major fungal wheat diseases, notably leaf rust (brown rust) and stripe rust (yellow rust), as well as hill bunt — diseases caused by rust fungi (P …

Parbhani Kranti is the bhindi variety produced by mutation breeding that carries resistance to Yellow Vein Mosaic Virus.

Mutation breeding uses induced mutations (by physical mutagens like gamma rays, or chemical mutagens) to create new genetic variation in a crop, from which desirable mutant types — such as disease resistance — are selected and bred true.

Among the given options:

• Parbhani Kranti is a variety of bhindi (okra, Abelmoschus esculentus) developed through mutation breeding and carries resistance to Yellow Vein Mosaic Virus (YVMV), one of the most damaging diseases of bhindi.
• Himgiri is a disease-resistant wheat variety, but it was developed by hybridization, not mutation breeding. …
