THE FAILURE OF Bacillus thuringiensis
نویسنده
چکیده
There is a new resolve, provoked by recent hikes in food prices around the world, to increase global food production in order to feed a rapidly growing population. In response made optimistic claims about the ability of genetically engineered (GE) crops changed using spliced genes that are often from unrelated organisms Agricultural biotechnology has shown to increase countries, far beyond the production capabilities of traditional agriculture. beyond input traits and is focused on delivering consumer health benefits. Over 10 new soybean varieties wit human health benefits moving toward commercialization. Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) is a sporulating, Gram crystals, predominantly comprising one have potent and specific insecticidal activity. Bt toxins and more recently the proteins have been expressed in transgenic plants to confer inherent pest resistance. Wh some scientists have argued that Bt transgenic crops produced tremendous results upon their deployment, others have shown disappointment over the likely development of pest resistant insect strains. review attempts to focus on the failur biotechnology.

Ocneria terebinthina Strg. (Lep.: Lymanteriidae) is a leaf borer pest in pistachio orchard. The toxicity of Bacillus thuringiensis var. kurstaki alone and in combination with henna powder was investigated on third larval instar of O. terebinthina under laboratory conditions. Bioassay was carried out using spray technique on pistachio offshoot. Probit analysis of concentration-mortality data was...

In this study, susceptibility of the first three larval stages of Spodoptera exigua to Bacillus thuringiensis was investigated. To determine the LC50 values for each larval instar, 6 different logarithmic concentrations of Bacillus thuringiensis were used. A control was also included in each of the bioassays. The value of LC50 for 1st instar larvae, that had been treated one to four hours after...

Background & Objective: Parasporin is a parasporal protein of Bacillus thuringiensis and exhibits special cytocidal activity against human cancer cells. Similar to other insecticidal Bacillus thuringiensis crystal toxins, parasporin shows target specificity and damages the cellular membrane. In this study, different strains of Bacillus thuringiensis isolated from various regions of Iran and the...

Background & Aims: Anopheles stephensi is one of the most important malaria vectors in Hormozgan province, southern Iran. This species with high density has an effective role in malaria transmission, especially in plain and coastal areas. At present, the country malaria vector control program in areas with local transmission is using deltamethrin 5% and Bacillus thuringiensis as insecticide ...
متن کاملApplication of Membrane Separation Technology in Downstream Processing of Bacillus thuringiensis Biopesticide: A Review
Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) has been extensively used in biopesticidal formulations due to its safe environmental and human health records. The widespread use of Bt is often challenged by production as well as formulation costs which are in direct contact with downstream processing, i.e. the separation/purification step. Downstream separation/purification efficacy governs the marketabi...
