Question

Two independent transgenic plants, one with single copy of gene A and another with single copy of gene B were expressed under the same seed-specific promoter. In transgenic plants, seed formation on self-pollination was similar to that of untransformed plants. When homozygous plants with gene A (male parent) were crossed with homozygous plants with gene B (female parent), viable seed formation did not occur although, pollen production was normal. What could be the possible reason for this observation?

Explanation

The principle of plant biotechnology explains that photosynthetic engineering and nutrient pathways support biofortification. Hence Interaction between products of genes A and B is lethal to the zygote. fits best because it supports metabolic engineering in crops, as documented in authoritative sources on plant biology.
