Insecticides gene-transfer

The success of this technique has hinged upon the knowledge that many xenobiotic-degrading genes are resident on extrachromosomal pieces of DNA called plasmids (23). Pesticide degradation plasmids were first described for 2,4-D and MCPA (29-311. Plasmids are also known to code for enzymes degrading 2,4,5-T (12.) and the OP insecticide diazinon (2Z) Several copies of a specific plasmid occur within an individual cell, and plasmids can be transferred from a donor cell to a recipient cell. [Pg.252]

Insect resistance in crop plants, by transferring genes that enable plants to make their own insecticides (BT toxin - see Table 2, item 3). [Pg.8]

A novel approach to increase the insecticidal properties of NPV was demonstrated by O Reilly and Miller (30). The researchers deleted an indigenous gene that encodes for ecdysteroid UDP-glucosyltransferase (EOT) from the AcNPV genome. EOT transfers the sugar moiety from a UDP-sugar to ecdysone, effectively... [Pg.351]
