Development and Characterization of Transgenic Sugarcane with Insect Resistance and Herbicide Tolerance.

Genetically modified crops which had been commercial applied extensively majorly are the insect resistance and herbicide tolerance events. In this study, the Bt insecticidal gene Cry1Ab, the glyphosate-tolerant gene EPSPS, and the selection marker gene PMI were combined into a single transferred DNA fragment and introduced into sugarcane by -mediated transformation. Thirty-three resistant plantlets were obtained after selection using a PMI/mannose selection system.
