Pyramiding of modified cry1Ab and cry1Ac genes of Bacillus thuringiensis in transgenic chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) for improved resistance to pod borer insect Helicoverpa armigera (2011, background): “It is suggested that Cry1Ab and Cry1Ac bind to a common receptor in H. armigera, but use different epitopes and vary in their binding affinity to BBMV of target insect, therefore co-expression of both the toxins in same plant is complementary to enhance the protection against H. armigera and delayin”
Plant resistance towards insect herbivores: a dynamic interaction. (2002, background): “and indirect defences as well as a constitutive direct defence, and which could incorporate highly effective and specific insecticides such as Bt toxin as well as a range of partial resistance mechanisms (Maqbool et al., 2001), remains for the most part a possibility for the future.”
Development of insect-resistant transgenic indica rice with a synthetic cry1C* gene (2006, background): “rice (Nayak et al. 1996; Ghareyazie et al. 1997; Wu et al 1997; Cheng et al. 1998; Maqbool et al. 1998; Tu et al. 2000; Maqbool et al. 2001;Ye et al. 2001; Bashir et al. 2004; Ramesh et al. 2004; Chen et al. 2005).”
Advances in Transgenic Rice Biotechnology (2007, methodology): “Gene pyramiding of cry1Ac, cry2A and GNA in transgenic rice was more effective against a variety of insects than single gene (Maqbool et al., 2001; Loc et al., 2002).”
Field evaluation and risk assessment of transgenic indica basmati rice (2004, background): “The ability of transgenic rice expressing cry genes to protect rice plants from target insects has been tested by many researchers under greenhouse and field conditions e.g., Cheng et al. 1998; Datta et al. 1998; Maqbool et al. 1998; Maqbool et al. 2001; Husnain et al. 2002; Tu et al. 2000; Shu et”
Linear transgene constructs lacking vector backbone sequences generate transgenic rice plants which accumulate higher levels of proteins conferring insect resistance (2002, background): “…2A were also shown to be effective at controlling yellow stem borer (Edwards et al. 1991) and very recently studies have demonstrated that plants expressing two different Bt -endotoxins, cry 1Ac and cry 2A, together with GNA resulted in 100% mortality of this particular pest (Maqbool et al. 2001).”
Biochemical characterization of α‐amylase of the Sunn pest, Eurygaster integriceps (2005, background): “An understanding of how digestive enzymes function is essential when developing methods of insect control, such as the use of enzyme inhibitors and transgenic plants to control phytophagous insects (Bandani et al. 2001; Ghoshal et al. 2001; Maqbool et al. 2001).”
Production of transgenic indica rice resistant to yellow stem borer and sap-sucking insects, using super-binary vectors of (2004, background): “The snowdrop lectin (GNA) gene was found highly effective against sap-sucking insects [20], while Bt genes proved lethal to the stem borers [14,21].”
