Variability in expression of insecticidal Cry1Ab gene in Indica Basmati rice
TL;DR: Southern blot hybridization of Basmati rice plants indicated integration of the complete plant transcriptional unit at multiple insertion sites and demonstrated that a specific promoter could be used to limit the expression of cry1Ab gene in the desired parts of BasMati rice.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development of monoclonal antibodies against Cry1Ab protein from Bacillus thuringiensis and their application in an ELISA for detection of transgenic Bt-maize
TL;DR: Monoclonal antibodies were developed by immunization of mice with trypsin-activated Cry1Ab and applied to protein extracts from maize powder containing different amounts of Bt-maize from three different lines (Bt-176, BT-11 and MON810).

Bacillus thuringiensis transposon TN5401
TL;DR: A transposable element, or transposon, isolated from Bacillus thuringiensis (B.t.) and designated as Transposon Tn5401 was proposed in this article.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
