Description

The sugarcane (Saccharum sp.) was modified to express Bacillus thuringiensis Cry1Ac with the aim of controlling the sugarcane borer (Diatraea saccharalis). The modified sugarcane also contains a selectable marker, Escherichia coli neomycin phosphotransferase II, for kanamycin selection during transformation.

Recipient Organism or Parental Organisms

The term Recipient organism refers to an organism (either already modified or non-modified) that was subjected to genetic modification, whereas Parental organisms refers to those that were involved in cross breeding or cell fusion.
