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.
Saccharum sp. - Sugar cane

Techniques used for the modification
  • Agrobacterium-mediated DNA transfer
Introduced or modified genetic elements
Some of these genetic elements may be present as fragments or truncated forms. Please see notes below, where applicable.

Notes regarding the genetic elements introduced or modified in this LMO
The event CTC93209 was obtained using Agrobacterium-mediated transformation to insert T-DNA from the vector pCTC523. The inserted fragment contains two expression cassettes: Bacillus thuringiensis cry1Ac and Escherichia coli neomycin phosphotransferase II.
