To make Bt corn, a gene is taken from a bacterium called Bacillus thuringiensis. The gene produces a protein that kills corn borer larvae, so growers can use Bt corn as an alternative to spraying insecticides.
BT corn means that the corn has been genetically modified with DNA from another organism.
An ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) can be used to identify Bt corn by detecting specific proteins produced by the Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) bacteria, which are introduced into the corn's genetic material for pest resistance. In this assay, a sample from the corn is tested against antibodies that specifically bind to the Bt proteins. If the proteins are present, a color change indicates a positive result, confirming the presence of Bt corn. This method is quick, sensitive, and can differentiate Bt corn from non-Bt varieties.
we cant tell you that because we dont no and what kind of question is that p.s. what is Bt corn ???
.bt was created in 1997.
The corn produces a toxin which poisons the corn borer after it consumes some of the corn.
Bt corn is made by introducing vector plasmids into agrobacterium by electroporation. Electroporation is the creation of transporent pores in the membrane of a cell, through the application of a high-voltage electrical pulse.
yes
Bt-corn is a type of genetically modified organism, termed GMO. A GMO is a plant or animal that has been genetically modified through the addition of a small amount of genetic material from other organisms through molecular techniques. Currently, the GMOs on the market today have been given genetic traits to provide protection from pests, tolerance to pesticides, or improve its quality. Examples of GMO field crops include Bt-potatoes, Bt-corn, Bt-sweet corn, Roundup Ready soybeans, Roundup Ready Corn, and Liberty Link corn.
The Bt gene produces a soil-inhabiting bacteria. This bacteria is known to be made into insecticides and kills insects that eat plants with the Bt genes.
BT Ireland was created in 1990.
BT Wholesale was created in 2006.
BT Research was created in 1921.
