CTC-932Ø9-4
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.

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.

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 (nptII).

The cry1Ac coding sequence is under control of the Zea mays ubiquitin promoter and Agrobacterium tumefaciens nopaline synthase terminator.

The nptII coding sequence is under control of the Zea mays ubiquitin promoter and Agrobacterium tumefaciens nopaline synthase terminator.

Note:
  • Restriction digest analysis indicated that the sugarcane genome contains two T-DNA inserts.
