Description
The transgenic cultivars of 'Atlantic' (ATBT04-6, ATBT04-27, ATBT04-30, ATBT04-31, ATBT04-36) NewLeaf® potatoes were genetically engineered to be resistant to attack by Colorado potato beetle (CPB; Leptinotarsa decemlineata) by producing their own insecticide. These lines were developed by introducing the cry3A gene, isolated from the common soil bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis subspecies tenebrionis (Btt), into the potato genome.
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.

Notes regarding the genetic elements introduced or modified in this LMO
The coding sequence of the Cry3A gene was modified to plant preferred codons. This resulted in changes to 399 of 1791 nucleotides but there were no changes to the resulting amino acid sequence.
Southern blot analysis indicated that a single copy of the transformation cassette for the coding sequences of both Cry3A and nptII were transformed into the host genome in a linked manner with the integrity of the T-DNA maintained. No portions of the vector backbone were detected.

Additional Information
Additional Information
The Cry3A protein expressed in these transgenic potato cultivars is identical to that found in nature and in commercial Bt spray formulations. Cry proteins, of which Cry3A is only one, act by selectively binding to specific sites localized on the lining of the midgut of susceptible insect species. Following binding, pores are formed that disrupt midgut ion flow causing gut paralysis and eventual death due to bacterial sepsis. Cry3A is insecticidal only when eaten by the larvae of coleopteran insects such as Colorado potato beetle and its specificity of action is directly attributable to the presence of specific binding sites in the target insects.
