Description:
|
The transgenic Bt cotton MLS-9124 was developed through Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation with vector pMH82.
It contains a double Cry1C gene (CS-cryC-BACTU) cassette that confers resistance to lepidopteran insects: diamond-back moth and the army worm (Plutella xylostella, and Spodoptera spp. respectively).
It is reported that the MLS-9124 is authorised for cultivation in India.
