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.

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).

Phage typing of Bacillus subtilis and B. thuringiensis.

TL;DR: Characteristics of typing phages are described for identity control and there is no correlation between H antigen serotypes and phagovars in B. thuringiensis.

Bacillus thuringiensis transposon TN5401

James A. Baum
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.

Transgenic plants protected from insect attack

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.

Bacillus thuringiensis var israelensis crystal delta-endotoxin: effects on insect and mammalian cells in vitro and in vivo

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.
