Q.Dwarfing gene of wheat is

The Yellow Revolution is the increase in oilseed production.

The 'Yellow Revolution' denotes the marked increase in the production of oilseeds and edible oils in India. By contrast, the White Revolution (Operation Flood) is about milk, the Blue Revolution about fish/aquaculture, and the poul …

Norin 10 is the dwarfing gene source used to develop the short, high-yielding wheat varieties of the Green Revolution.

Working

The Green Revolution's dramatic increase in wheat yields depended on introducing dwarfing genes that shortened the plant's stem, making it resistant to lodging (falling over) when heavily fertilised and bearing a large grain head. This dwarfing trait was sourced from Norin 10, a Japanese wheat variety, which was used by Norman Borlaug and his collaborators to breed semi-dwarf, high-yielding wheat cultivars adopted widely across India and other developing countries from the 1960s onward. The other options are dwarfing/mutant v …

Dr. M.S. Swaminathan is called the Father of the Indian Green Revolution for pioneering high-yielding wheat varieties in India.

Working

The Green Revolution refers to the dramatic increase in foodgrain (mainly wheat and rice) production achieved in India from the mid-1960s onward, through the introduction of high-yielding varieties (HYVs), especially semi-dwarf wheat cultivars, combined with improved irrigation, fertilizer use, and agronomic practices.

Among the given options, Jaya is the semi-dwarf, better-yielding rice variety that was bred within India (from IR-8 parentage), unlike IR-8 itself which was developed at IRRI, Philippines, and Sonalika/Kalyan Sona, which are Indian wheat varieties.

During the Green Revolution, plant breeding programmes developed semi-dwarf, high-yielding, lodging-resistant and fertiliser-responsive varieties of cereals.

• Sonalika and Kalyan Sona are high-yielding, semi-dwarf wheat varieties released in India (derived using Norin-10 dwarfing genes), not rice. …

'Swaminathan' matches with 'Green revolution' — M. S. Swaminathan led India's Green Revolution.

Dr. M. S. Swaminathan, an eminent agricultural scientist, is known as the Father of the Green Revolution in India. Working with high-yielding, semi-dwarf varieties of wheat (developed originally by Norman Borlaug), he pioneered their introduction and adaptation to Indian conditions in the 1960s, dramatically increasing wheat (and later rice) production in India and helping the country move towards self-sufficiency in food grains. It matches Column B item (4) Green revolution.

M.S. Swaminathan led India's Green Revolution by introducing high-yielding, semi-dwarf wheat varieties in the 1960s, dramatically boosting India's food-grain production.

The Green Revolution refers to the dramatic increase in food-grain (especially wheat and rice) production in India during the 1960s-70s, achieved through the introduction of high-yielding varieties (HYVs), better irrigation, fertilisers and improved agronomic practices. Dr. M.S. Swaminathan, an agricultural scientist, adapted semi-dwarf, high-yielding, disease-resistant wheat varieties (developed originally by Norman Borlaug in Mexico) to Indian conditions, and is honoured in Ind …
