Production of transgenic kiwifruit plants harboring the SbtCry1Ac gene

H. Y. Zhang, Liu, H. M., and Liu, X. Z., Production of transgenic kiwifruit plants harboring the SbtCry1Ac gene, vol. 14, pp. 8483-8489, 2015.

The kiwifruit (Actinidia chinensis Planch.) is an economically and nutritionally important fruit crop that has a remarkably high vitamin C content and is popular throughout the world. However, kiwifruit plants are vulnerable to attack from pests, and effective pest control is urgently required. Transgenic kiwifruit plants containing the synthetic chimeric gene SbtCry1Ac that encodes the insecticidal protein btCrylAc were obtained through an Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of kiwifruit leaf discs.
