Read the following statements and select the correct option.
Statement (A): Resistance of the host plant to any disease is determined by the genetic constitution of the host plant.
Statement (B) : Black rot of crucifers is a bacterial disease.
Only statement A is correct
Only statement B is correct
Both statements A and B are correct
Both statements A and B are incorrect
Statement A is correct as the genetic constitution of the host plant plays a key role in determining its resistance to diseases. Different varieties of plants have different levels of resistance to diseases, and plant breeders work to develop new varieties with improved resistance.
Statement B is also correct as black rot of crucifers is indeed a bacterial disease caused by the pathogen Xanthomonas campestris. Crucifers include plants such as cabbage, cauliflower, and broccoli, and black rot can cause significant damage to these crops.
