Abstract

Three Transformants were selected by transferring cry1C into Bacillus thuringiensis strain YBT1535. Plasmid profiles, PCR and Southern blot result all proved that cry1C had been transferred into strain YBT1535. Bioassay results showed that the transformants of strain YBT1535 displayed significantly higher toxicity against Spodoptera exigua than strain YBT1535, but the toxicities against Heliothis armigera and Plutella xylostella did not rise except transformant YBT1535-2.
