Pyramiding of Bt Genes into Cabbage Confers Effective DBM Control
Pyramiding of Bt genes in white cabbage is an effective strategy to control diamondback moth (DBM) infestation, says research in Journal of Plant Biotechnology conducted by Dengxia Yi from China Agricultural University and colleagues. Two plasmids with cry1Ia8 and cry1Ba3 genes from Bacillus thuringiensis were introduced to white cabbage through Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation. This led […]
