TL;DR: Diamondback moth strain NO-QA cross-resistance extends beyond the Cry1A family of proteins to at least two other families that exhibit high levels of amino sequence similarity withCry1A in domain II (Cry1F and Cry1J) and to a protein that is identical to Cry1Ab indomain II (H04).
Journal ArticleDOI
Development of transgenic cabbage ( Brassica oleracea var. Capitata ) for insect resistance by Agrobacterium tumefaciens -mediated transformation
TL;DR: Insect bioassay showed that transgenic cabbage plants developed through Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation with Bacillus thuringiensis cry genes were all resistant to diamondback moth even without induction for the expression of Bt.
Mimosine, a Toxin Present in Leguminous Trees (Leucaena spp.), Induces a Mimosine-Degrading Enzyme Activity
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that most isolates able to grow on mimosine as a source of carbon and nitrogen are also able to utilize 3-hydroxy-4-pyridone, a toxic intermediate of mimousine degradation in other organisms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mimosine, a Toxin Present in Leguminous Trees (Leucaena spp.), Induces a Mimosine-Degrading Enzyme Activity in Some Rhizobium Strains.
TL;DR: Most isolates able to grow on mimosine as a source of carbon and nitrogen are also able to utilize 3-hydroxy-4-pyridone, a toxic intermediate of mimosines degradation in other organisms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bradyrhizobium spp. (TGx) isolates nodulating the new soybean cultivars in Africa are diverse and distinct from bradyrhizobia that nodulate North American soybeans.
TL;DR: Heterogeneity within the large phylogenetic clusters was examined through analysis of randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) using GC-rich PCR primers, which showed additional heterogeneity in the Bradyrhizobium spp.
