Bt corn has a higher lignin content than non-Bt corn.
Bt corn has been genetically modified to express the Cry1Ab protein of Bacillus thuringiensis to kill lepidopteran pests. Fluorescence microscopy and staining with toluidine blue indicated a higher content of lignin in the vascular bundle sheaths and in the sclerenchyma cells surrounding the vascular bundle in all ten Bt corn hybrids, representing three different transformation events, studied ...
متن کاملSoil microbial communities associated with Bt and non-Bt corn in three soils.
The effects of expression of Cry endotoxin by Bt corn (transgenic corn engineered to express Bacillus thuringiensis toxin) on soil microbial community structure were assessed in a growth chamber experiment. Two lines of transgenic corn expressing different Cry endotoxins were compared with their respective non-transgenic isolines in three soil types with differing textures. Phospholipid fatty a...
متن کاملAssessment of Plant Pathogenicity of Endophytic Beauveria bassiana in Bt Transgenic and Non-Transgenic Corn
1991). Only recently have investigations focused on relationships between B. bassiana and the corn plant. Field and greenhouse studies were conducted to determine the proBeauveria bassiana forms an endopytic relationship with clivity of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) (Berliner)-transgenic corn (Zea mays L.) to form an endophytic relationship with Beauveria bassiana, the corn plant and provides sea...
متن کاملAreawide suppression of European corn borer with Bt maize reaps savings to non-Bt maize growers.
Transgenic maize engineered to express insecticidal proteins from the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) has become widely adopted in U.S. agriculture. In 2009, Bt maize was planted on more than 22.2 million hectares, constituting 63% of the U.S. crop. Using statistical analysis of per capita growth rate estimates, we found that areawide suppression of the primary pest Ostrinia nubilalis (Eu...
متن کاملCorn Rootworm Resistance to BT-Corn Reported
Cornell University by seed industry legal restrictions placed on public scientists, limiting both laboratory and field research from the mid-1990s until 2010. Widespread and organized objections by corn entomologists from major agricultural universities in 2010, convinced the seed companies to loosen the legal restrictions limiting research by public scientists involving GMO crops. As a result,...
