Resistance to root-knot nematode in tomato roots expressing a nematicidal Bacillus thuringiensis crystal protein.
Our laboratory has demonstrated previously that Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) crystal (Cry) proteins present in the Cry5 and Cry6 subclades intoxicate free-living nematodes. In this study, we tested whether the expression of nematicidal Cry6A in transgenic plants provided protection against plant-parasitic nematodes. As bacterial codon usage is incompatible with expression in plants, two differen...
متن کاملTomato transgenic plants expressing hairpin construct of a nematode protease gene conferred enhanced resistance to root-knot nematodes
Root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne incognita) cause substantial yield losses in vegetables worldwide, and are difficult to manage. Continuous withdrawal of environmentally-harmful nematicides from the global market warrants the need for novel nematode management strategies. Utility of host-delivered RNAi has been demonstrated in several plants (Arabidopsis, tobacco, and soybean) that exhibited re...
متن کاملInhibition of Syncytia Formation and Root-knot Nematode Development on Cultures of Excised Tomato Roots.
Two different defined growth media were used to culture aseptically the root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita, on excised roots of tomato, Lycopersicon esculentum cv 'Marglobe.' One of these media, STW, was a formulation by Skoog, Tsui, and White and the other, MS, a formulation by Murashige and Skoog. From 1 through 4 weeks, inoculated tissues were fractured to observe root infection, gian...

متن کاملTransgenic tomato line expressing modified Bacillus thuringiensis cry1Ab gene showing complete resistance to two lepidopteran pests
The modified truncated Bt-cry1Ab gene of Bacillus thuringiensis has been used for the development and selection of over expressing transgenic events in a commercially important variety of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) by Agrobacterium-mediated leaf-disc transformation procedure. The integration and inheritance of cry1Ab gene in T0 transgenic plants and their progenies were determined by PCR,...
