Carotenoids moderate the effectiveness of a Bt gene against the European corn borer, Ostrinia nubilalis.

Carotenoids moderate the effectiveness of a Bt gene against the European corn borer, Ostrinia nubilalis.

We assessed the effectiveness of a biofortified maize line (4BtxHC) which accumulates high levels of antioxidant carotenoids that also expressed the insecticidal Cry1Ac Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) gene against the European corn borer Ostrinia nubilalis.
