The crops engineered for glyphosate are resistant/tolerant to :

Options

(b) Insects

(d) Fungi

Correct Answer:

Herbicides

Explanation:

Today plants having the broad leaves are made resistant to a powerful biodegradable herbicide glyphosate. It is an active ingredient of Round Up ready plant. It disturbs the working of EPSP synthetase enzyme. If it is taken up by crop plants they will die. So the bioengineers have transferred gene for synthesis of EPSP synthetase enzyme to crop plant.
