Advances In Insect Control: The Role Of Transgenic Plants

Carozzi, Nadine B

1997

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.

An Atlas of Orchid Pollination

None Listed

2001

This work follows on from the 1995 publication on European orchids. The atlas is now completed with a second part, containing data on the pollination of orchids of the continents of America, Asia, Africa (including Madagascar) and Australia (including New Zealand).;The first part of the book is adapted from the general account of the previous publication and is extended with chapters on taxonomy and pollinators. The general account deals with such things as the history, evolution, morphology, chemistry and genetics of orchid pollination. The second part gives a systematic account for each continent of all well known details. The text is designed to have relevance for orchid lovers whether professional or amateur.
