Summary

Abstract:
"Testing Novel Transgenes Encoding Pest/Disease Resistance (Methyl Bromide Alternatives)" contains data from tests on the efficacy of vectors containing useful genes in transgenic apple plants. The goal is to provide viable options to some of the critical problems facing California and U.S. horticultural industries with particular emphasis placed on the fruit and nut tree crops. The purose of this dataset is the elimination/reduction of chemical pesticides against insect pests, and the elimination/reduction of methyl bromide (which is a commonly used soil fumigant to combat soil-borne pests, such as nematodes, as well as a fumigant used for the postharvest preservation of exported commodities). Collection Organization: University of California, Davis Collection Methodology: Vectors containing synthetic CRY IAc used in plant transformation experiments to obtain transgenic apple plants. Plants then tested in the laboratory for efficacy using a bioassay with the key insect pest codling moth (C. pomonella). Transgenic plants displaying strong activity tested further in the field. For alternatives to Methyl Bromide different gene products tested. These include nematicidal crystal proteins from Bacillus thuringienisis, protease inhibitors, lectins, and ribsomal inactivating proteins. Genes obtained and vectors constructed to provide tissues for testing efficacy.
