Transgenic maize confers resistance to asiatic corn borer, ostrinia furnacalis guenee
Material type:
TextPublication details: Los Baños, Laguna (Philippines) PCARRD : 2000Description: p. 163-169Subject(s): Summary: Variety MON 810, a transgenic maize expressing the CryIA (b) insecticidal protein from Bacillus thuringiensis var. kurstaki was evaluated against repeated artificial infestations with the Asiatic corn borer, Ostrinia furnacalis Guenee at the CL4 confinement facility at IRRI. Highly resistant reaction to foliar damage by the borer throughout the three infestation periods was observed on the transgenic plants compared to an equivalent non -Bt hybrid and a local check variety, Supersweet corn. Significantly reduced number and length of borer tunnels in the stalk and the length of tunneling in the ear shank of the transgenic plants were also observed.
