Golden rice

Vedclass · Answer

(A) Golden rice is a genetically modified variety of rice $(Oryza 	ext{ } sativa)$ engineered to produce beta-carotene, which is a precursor of Vitamin $A$. Consumption of golden rice helps in overcoming Vitamin $A$ deficiency, thereby preventing conditions like night blindness. $Bt$-brinjal is modified for pest resistance, Flavr Savr tomato for delayed ripening, and Canola is often modified for herbicide tolerance or oil quality, but they do not address Vitamin $A$ deficiency.
