Inhaltsangabe

Uses of transgenes to increase host plant resistance to insects -
opportunities and challenges; insect control with transgenic plants
expressing "Bacillus thuringiensis" crystal proteins; the development of a
comprehensive resistance management plan for potatoes expressing the Cry3A
endotoxin; transgenic maize expressing "Bacillus thuringiensis" isecticidal
protein for control of European corn borer; enhancing insect resistance in
rice; cholesteral oxidase for the control of boll weevil; vips - novel
proteins for control of corn pests; plant lectins as insect control
proteins in transgenic plants; transfer of bruchid resistance from the
common bean to other starchy grain legumes by genetic engineering with the
alpha-amylase inhibitor gene; proteinase inhibitors and resistance of
transgenic plants to insects; chitinases for insect control; the role of
peroxidase in host insect defenses; insecticidal compounds induced by
regulated overproduction of cytokinins in transgenic plants; genetic
engineering of plant secondary metabolism for insect protection; managing
resistance to transgenic crops.
