Transgenic Tobacco Plants by Cotransformation With Proteinase Inhibitor Ⅱ and δ-endotoxin Genes

In recent years, great progress has been made in. producing plants resistant to insect attack by genetic engineering of B. t δ-endotoxin gene or plant proteinase inhibitor genes, and how to avoid the emergence of the insect resistance to B. t δ-endotoxin produced by transgenic plants has been paid attention to. To combine one B. t δ-endotoxin gene with an incompatible B. t δ-endotoxin gene or with other genes such as proteinase inhibitor gene might alleviate the insect resistance problem. In this note, we study the cotransformation
