Laboratory study of the effects of leek lectin (APA) in transgenic tobacco plants on the development of cotton leafworm Spodoptera littoralis (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)

Transgenic tobacco plants expressing the Allium porrum L. (leek) agglutinin (called APA) under the control of the 35S constitutive promoter were tested for their insecticidal activity against the cotton leafworm, Spodoptera littoralis (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae). Southern blot and PCR analysis confirme...
