Our project aims to provide durable long term resistance to Diaprepes using a plant based insecticidal transgene approach. In this quarter, several transgenic lines expressing each of our test genes have been regenerated and many of them have rooted. The rooted material has been successfully acclimatized to the greenhouse for growth and further testing. We are in the process of confirming the gene expression levels in these transgenic lines to isolated lines that have excellent gene expression. These selected lines will be propagated for subsequent evaluation with Diaprepes neonates.
