Experimental models of the potato primary transgenic plants which express the hybrid gene cry3aM-licBM2 have been created. Modecular analysis and the biotests of the experimental models allow proposing a new system of cry genes expression in plants. The system is based on the expression of hybrid genes possessing the sequence of reporter lichenase gene and the use as a regulator element of a light-induced promoter providing preferential expression of the controled genes only in green plant tissues (leaves)--the target tissues for pests.
