    Question

    The 'Dee-gee-woo-gene' is known to play a critical role

    in the development of dwarf rice varieties. How does this gene contribute to altering plant height, and what impact does this have on rice production?
    A It increases gibberellin production, resulting in shorter stalks and higher lodging resistance. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B It suppresses gibberellin synthesis, creating shorter, sturdier plants that are less prone to lodging. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C It enhances root elongation, improving nutrient uptake and growth. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D It boosts photosynthetic efficiency, leading to denser crop canopies. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E It inhibits tillering, leading to more uniform plant growth. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The 'Dee-gee-woo-gene' reduces gibberellin synthesis, resulting in dwarf, sturdier rice plants that are better suited to withstand harsh weather conditions and support increased yield.
