Impact of nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers on Cry1Ac protein contents in transgenic cotton

Braz. j. biol; 83 (), 2023
Abstract Application of different fertilizers to check the efficiency of expression of Bt (Bacillus thuringiensis) gene in one of the leading commercialized crops (cotton) against Lepidopteran species is of great concern. The expression of Cry protein level can be controlled by the improvement of nutrien...

Behavior and development of Tetranychus ludeni Zacher, 1913 (Acari: Tetranychidae) and physiological stress in genetically modified cotton expressing Cry1F and Cry1Ac proteins

Braz. j. biol; 81 (2), 2021
Genetically modified plants are one of the tactics used in integrated pest management - IPM. There is great concern about the impact of these plants on non-target organisms. On the other hand, there is little information in the literature on the effects of transgenics (Bacillus thuringiensis) Bt on popul...

Cepas chilenas de origen clínico de Vibrio cholerae no-O1, no-O139 portan los genes vcsN2, vcsC2, vcsV2, vspD, toxR2 y vopF del sistema de secreción T3SS2 presentes en una isla de patogenicidad

Rev. chil. infectol; 36 (3), 2019
Resumen Introducción. Los factores de virulencia de las cepas de Vibrio cholerae no-O1, no-O139 no son claramente conocidos. La cepa de origen septicémico NN1 Vibrio cholerae no-O1, no-O139 fue secuenciada previamente mediante la plataforma Illumina, detectándose en su genoma un fragmento de la isla ...

Owlet moths (Lepidoptera: Noctuoidea) associated with Bt and non- Bt soybean in the brazilian savanna

Braz. j. biol; 79 (2), 2019
Abstract The use of GMO expressing Bt toxin in soybean production has increased significantly in the last years in Brazil in order to manage the damage caused by lepidopteran pests. In this study, we compared the richness and abundance of owlet moths (Noctuoidea) associated with Bt and non-Bt soybean. W...

Diversity and distribution of lepidopteran-specific toxin genes in Bacillus thuringiensis strains from Argentina

Rev. argent. microbiol; 49 (3), 2017
A total of 268 Bacillus thuringiensis strains obtained from different sources of Argentina were analyzed to determine the diversity and distribution of the cryl, cry2, cry8, cry9 and vip3A genes encoding for lepidopteran-specific insecticidal proteins. Twin strains were excluded. Ten different profiles w...

Expression of cry1Ab gene from a novel Bacillus thuringiensis strain SY49-1 active on pest insects

Braz. j. microbiol; 47 (3), 2016
ABSTRACT In this study, the cry1Ab gene of previously characterized and Lepidoptera-, Diptera-, and Coleoptera-active Bacillus thuringiensis SY49-1 strain was cloned, expressed and individually tested on Ephestia kuehniella (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) and Plodia interpunctella (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) larva...

Chloroplast localization of Cry1Ac and Cry2A protein- an alternative way of insect control in cotton

Biol. Res; 48 (), 2015
BACKGROUND: Insects have developed resistance against Bt-transgenic plants. A multi-barrier defense system to weaken their resistance development is now necessary. One such approach is to use fusion protein genes to increase resistance in plants by introducing more Bt genes in combination. The locating t...
