The correct answer is:
both sense and anti-sense RNA
The Agrobacterium acted as a vector to introduce the nematode-specific genes into the tobacco plant.
The DNA in it produced both sense and antisense RNA which formed double-stranded RNA and were complementary to each other. The RNA produced caused the silencing of the expression of m-RNA and therefore proved to be lethal for the survival and infestation of the survival.
