Identification of two expressed flagellin genes in the insect pathogen Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. alesti
TL;DR: Flagellin from Bacillus thuringiensis subspecies alesti strain Bt75 was isolated both from the culture medium and from flagella; two protein forms with molecular masses close to 32 kDa were obtained from Flagella.

Enhancing Sustainability of Cotton Production Systems in West Africa: A Summary of Empirical Evidence from Burkina Faso
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report the potential impact that Bt cotton can have on sustainability in Burkina Faso's cotton sector based on summarizing empirical evidence from previously published studies, based on the summary of published data collected from six years of field trials and producer surveys.

Bacillus thuringiensis Applications in Agriculture
Zenas Okon George,Neil Crickmore +1 more
TL;DR: There are concerns over the development of resistance by insect species and also the narrow spectrum of activity of individual toxins, so new strains of Bt expressing novel toxins are actively sought and existing toxins are genetically modified for improved activity.

Persistence of toxins and cells of Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki introduced in sprays to Sardinia soils
Cristina Vettori,Donatella Paffetti,Deepak Saxena,Guenther Stotzky,Raffaello Giannini,Raffaello Giannini +5 more
TL;DR: It is indicated that Btk and its toxin introduced into soils in sprays can persist for long periods (at least 88 months for Bksd and at least 28 months for its toxin).

Transformation of temperate woody crops: Progress and potentials
TL;DR: This review discusses the current state of woody plant transformation, limitations, potentials for circumventing these limitations, and genes and classes of genes which might be usefully introduced into them.

Analysis of membrane and surface protein sequences with the hydrophobic moment plot.
TL;DR: An algorithm has been developed which identifies alpha-helices involved in the interactions of membrane proteins with lipid bilayers and which distinguishes them from helices in soluble proteins, and suggests four transmembrane helices and a surface-seeking helix in fragment B, the moiety known to have trans Membrane function.

TL;DR: The Gram-positive bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis produces proteins which are specifically toxic to a variety of insect species, and modified genes have been derived from bt2, a toxin gene cloned from one Bacillus strain.

Stable Transformation of Soybean (Glycine Max) by Particle Acceleration
TL;DR: Experiments using this protocol have resulted in mature RO and R1 plants expressing the introduced gene(s), regarded as a major step in the practical application of genetic engineering to the useful modification of food-crop species.

TL;DR: With the exception of the Lepidopteran cell line, Choristoneura fumiferana 63 CF1, this soluble crystal delta-endotoxin protein showed no in vitro or in vivo toxicity, and no haemolytic activity.
