Low temperature exposure influences nitrogen metabolism resulting in decreased Cry1Ac insecticidal endotoxin content in cotton seeds

Abstract Background Sudden temperature drops, resulting from extreme weather events, often occur during the boll-setting period of cotton in Xinjiang, China, causing decreased expression of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) insecticidal proteins in cotton bolls. The precise threshold temperatures and dura...
