“…Basri (2005) also observed instability in expression of the bar gene in T 1 , T 2 , and T 3 transgenic wheat plants. Karim et al (2000) studied pesticidal activity of Bt endotoxins Cry1Aa, Cry1Ab, Cry1Ac, and Cry2A against fourth instar larvae of Helicoverpa zea and found that H. zea was susceptible to Bt toxins in the order Cry1Ac, Cry1Ab, Cry1Aa, and Cry2A with 63.60, 89.04, 159.65, and 375.78 ng/larvae, respectively. A high concentration of Cry2A protein was needed to achieve complete insect mortality when compared to Cry1A proteins.…”
