Bt-Cry3Aa transgene expression reduces insect damage and improves growth in field-grown hybrid poplar

Creator:

Klocko, Amy L., Meilan, Richard, James, Rosalind R., Viswanath, Venkatesh, Ma, Cathleen, Payne, Peggy, Miller, Lawrence, Skinner, Jeffrey S., Oppert, Brenda, Cardineau, Guy A., and Strauss, Steven H.

Abstract:

The stability and value of transgenic pest resistance for promoting tree growth are poorly understood. These data are essential for determining if such trees could be beneficial to commercial growers in the face of substantial regulatory and marketing costs. We investigated growth and insect resistance in hybrid poplar expressing the...

Down-regulation of gibberellic acid in poplar has negligible effects on host-plant suitability and insect pest response

Creator:

Buhl, Christine, Strauss, Steven H., and Lindroth, Richard L.

Abstract:

Abstract Endogenous levels and signaling of gibberellin plant hormones such as gibberellic acid (GA) have been genetically down-regulated to create semi-dwarf varieties of poplar. The potential benefits of semi-dwarf stature include reduced risk of wind damage, improved stress tolerance, and improved wood quality. Despite these benefits, modification of growth traits...
