Our project aims to provide durable long term resistance to Diaprepes using a plant based insecticidal transgene approach. In this quarter,cuttings have been initiated for selected transgenic lines. Molecular analyses has been completed and a wide variation in transgene response is being observed. Due to yet unexplained reasons, transgenic lines expressing the ASAL transgene are performing better horticulturally than lines with expressing the APA transgene. Rooted cuttings are expected to be available in the fall.
