Cotton 281-24-236x3006-210-23


Trait: Resistance to lepidopteran pests (this line was produced by crossing between the parent lines 281-24-236 und 3006-210-23)
Inserted genes:
cry1A(c)+cry1F-gene Source: Bacillus thuringiensis ssp.

Function: These genes encoding the Bt-toxins Cry1A(c) and Cry1F, which confer resistance to lepidopteran pests of cotton, such as tobacco budworm (Heliothis virescens), cotton bollworm (Helicoverpa zea), beet armyworm (Spodoptera exigua), pink bollworm (Pectinophora gossypiella), and soybean looper (Pseudoplusia includens).

Marker gene Source: Soil bacterium (Streptomyces viridochromogenes)

Function: The pat gene codes for the enzyme Phosphinothricin-Acetyltransferase (PAT) and leads to increased tolerance to glufosinate-containing herbicides.

Methods for the genetic modification: Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated gene transfer
