Question

Which of the following agronomic trait can be fortified in beans?

• A. Virus resistance
• B. Heat tolerance
• C. Drought tolerance
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is D All of the above

Biofortification is the method in which the food is added or supplemented with the required nutrients. It is a process of breeding crops with higher levels of vitamins, minerals, proteins, and fat content. The beans are fortified with iron, proteins and other nutrients. In order to obtain more yield, breeding of the plant is performed to obtain the resistant variety of plants. Resistance to virus, heat and drought tolerance are some of the characteristics which are selected for breeding.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.
