Solution(By Examveda Team)
Wheat varieties KML 7404, and MLKS-11 are Multiline cultivars.Multiline crop cultivars are phenotypically similar (height, grain type) but genetically different against insect pests and diseases (Browning and Frey 1981; Wolfe 1985).
Multiline cultivars have been developed for commercial cultivation in oats, wheat, soybean, and peanut.
