320 Biotechnological Approaches for Pest Management and Ecological Sustainability<br />

TABLE 10.1<br />

Transgenic Events with Resistance to Insects Used for Crop Improvement in Different Crops<br />

Event<br />

COT102 Syngenta Seeds<br />

Inc.<br />

Institution/<br />

Company Description<br />

Cotton, Gossypium hirsutum L.<br />

Insect-resistant cotton produced by inserting gene from Bacillus<br />

thuringiensis AB88. The APH4 gene from E. coli was used as a<br />

selectable marker.<br />

MON531/757/1076 Monsanto Insect-resistant cotton produced by inserting gene from Bacillus<br />

thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki (B.t.k.).<br />

Tomato, Lycopersicon esculentum L.<br />

5345 Monsanto Resistance to lepidopteran pests through the cry1Ac gene from<br />

Bacillus thuringiensis spp. kurstaki.<br />

RBMT15-101,<br />

BT11 (X4334CBR,<br />

X4734CBR)<br />

Potato, Solanum tuberosum L.<br />

Monsanto Colorado potato beetle and potato virus Y produced by inserting<br />

the cry3A protein and gene encoding for PVY.<br />

Monsanto Colorado potato beetle and potato leafroll virus (PLRV) resistant<br />

potatoes produced by inserting the cry3A and replicase encoding<br />

gene from PLRV.<br />

Syngenta Seeds<br />

Inc.<br />

Maize, Zea mays L.<br />

Insect-resistant maize produced by inserting cry1Ab for resistance to<br />

European corn borer.<br />

Insect-resistant and herbicide-tolerant maize inserting the<br />

cry1Ab gene from Bacillus thuringiensis var. kurstaki, and the<br />

phosphoinothricin acelytransferase (PAT) encoding gene from<br />

S. viridochromogen.<br />

MON802 Monsanto Insect-resistant and glyphosate herbicide-tolerant line produced by<br />

inserting the genes encoding the protein from Bacillus thuringiensis<br />

and the 5-5¢-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase<br />

(A. tumefaciens strain CP4).<br />

MON809 Pioneer HiBred<br />

International<br />

Inc.<br />

Resistant to European corn borer through introduction of a<br />

synthetic cry1Ab gene.<br />

MON810 Monsanto Insect-resistant maize produced by inserting the cry1Ab gene from<br />

Bacillus thuringiensis kurstaki (HD-1). The genetic modifi cation<br />

affords resistance to attack by the European corn borer.<br />

Transgenic hybrids suffered 20 to 40% less bollworm damage than their nontransgenic<br />

counterparts under unprotected conditions (Figure 10.3). Among these, Mech 184 suffered<br />

the least boll damage (20%) (Sharma and Pampapathy, 2006). There were no differences<br />

in cottonseed yield of transgenic and nontransgenic versions of Mech 12 and Mech 162<br />

under protected or unprotected conditions (Figure 10.4), under moderate levels of bollworm<br />

damage. However, their yield under unprotected conditions was very low as both of<br />

these hybrids were severely damaged by cotton leafhopper, Amrasca biguttula biguttula<br />

Ishida. Transgenic hybrid Mech 184 yielded more than the nontransgenic counterpart,<br />

both under protected and unprotected conditions. This hybrid was also less susceptible to<br />

cotton leafhopper, A. biguttula biguttula (4 jassids per plant) as compared to Mech 12 and
