Abstract excerpt
This paper describes a screening strategy incorporating resistant insect lines for discovery of new Bacillus thuringiensis toxins against a background of known genes that would normally mask the activity of additional genes and the application of that strategy. A line of Helicoverpa armigera with resistance to Cry1Ac (line ISOC) was used to screen Cry1Ac-expressing strains of B. thuringiensis for additional...
