Putatively Expressed Proteins in GM Crops for Insect Pest Resistance
Journal Title: Journal of Plant Science and Research - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
The growing demands to produce more food and fibre to feed increasing population and also for reducing chemical inputs in agriculture to overcome adverse affects impetus to the development of alternative forms of insect-pest control strategies. Biological entomotoxic molecules provide an attractive alternative candidate to the use of synthetic pesticides. These molecules are naturally occurring in the organisms and proved to be less toxic to non target pests.
