Production of marker-free transgenic Jatropha curcas expressing hybrid Bacillus thuringiensis δ-endotoxin Cry1Ab/1Ac
Dhaka 5th June, 2014, In an article entitled, “Production of marker-free transgenicJatropha curcas expressing hybrid Bacillus thuringiensis δ-endotoxin Cry1Ab/1Ac for resistance to larvae of tortrix moth (Archips micaceanus)”, published in 3rd May, ’14 issue of Biotechnology for Biofuels 2014, 7:68, Keyu Gu, Huizhu Mao and Zhongchao Yin reported that the hybrid Bt δ-endotoxin protein Cry1Ab/1Ac expressed in Jatropha curcas displays strong insecticidal activity to A. micaceanus. The marker-free transgenic J. curcas line L10 can be used for breeding of insect resistance to A. micaceanus.
