Description:
|
ATBT04-36 potato was generated by Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation of the male-fertile potato variety Atlantic with the transformation vector PV-STBT04.
ATBT04-36 potatoes constitutively express the cry3A gene from Bacillus thuringiensis ssp. tenebrionis (CS-cry3A-BACTU) which confers a resistance to coleopteran pests and the nptII gene as a selection marker.
Southern Blot analyses indicate that ATBT04-36 potatoes contain three T-DNA copies inserted at three separate loci. One locus consists of the whole plasmid, PV-STBT04. The second copy consists of the T-DNA and the oriV element of the vector backbone. The third insert only contains the cry3A gene.
