| Abstract | In order to develop a resistance management strategy to control tropical pests based on the co-expression of different toxins, a fully modified Bacillus thuringiensis cry1B gene and the translational fusion cry1B-cry1Ab gene have been developed. Both constructs were cloned under the control of a maize ubiquitin-1 or a rice actin-1 promoter and linked to the bar gene driven by the CaMV 35S promoter. Immature embryos from the tropical lines CML72, CML216, and their hybrids, were used as the target for transformation by microprojectile bombardment. Twenty five percent of the transformed maize plants with cry1B expressed a protein that is active against southwestern corn borer and sugarcane borer. Ten percent of the transgenic maize expressed single fusion proteins from the translational fusion gene cry1B-1Ab and showed resistance to these two pests as well as to the fall armyworm. Transgenic maize plants that carried the cry1B gene in T1 to T3 progenies transmitted trangenes with expected Mendelian segregation and conferred resistance to the two target insects. Molecular analyses confirmed the cry genes integration, the copy number, the size of protein(s) expressed in maize plants, the transmission, and the inheritance of the introduced cry gene. These new transgenic products will provide another recourse for reducing the build-up of resistance in pest populations. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
