    Transgenic Tobacco and Apple Plants Expressing Biotin-binding Proteins are Resistant to two Cosmopolitan Insect Pests, Potato Tuber Moth and Lightbrown Apple Moth, Respectively

    Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum cv. Samsun) and apple (Malus × domestica cv. Royal Gala) plants expressing avidin or strepavidin were produced using Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation. ELISA assays show...

    Expression of Biotin-Binding Proteins, Avidin and Streptavidin, in Plant Tissues Using Plant Vacuolar Targeting Sequences

    Tobacco plants have been developed which constitutively express high levels of the biotin-binding proteins, avidin and streptavidin. These plants were phenotypically normal and produced fertile pollen and seed...

    Avidin Expressed in Transgenic Tobacco Leaves Confers Resistance to Two Noctuid Pests, Helicoverpa Armigera and Spodoptera Litura

    Fertile transgenic tobacco plants with leaves expressing avidin in the vacuole have been produced and shown to halt growth and cause mortality in larvae of two noctuid lepidopterans, Helicoverpa armigera and Spod...
