Article Synopsis
- Maize is a crucial global food crop but its yields are threatened by insect pests, prompting research into genetic modifications to enhance resistance.
- The cry1Ah gene was mutated and introduced into a specific maize variety using advanced techniques, resulting in nine successful transgenic plants that express a protective protein effectively.
- The transgenic maize showed a complete mortality rate of corn borers in lab tests and significant insecticidal activity in field trials, indicating strong commercialization potential for this genetically modified crop.
