Quantitative enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays were used to characterize the geographical (locations) and temporal (through 6 wk) expression of CrylAc, from Bacillus thuringiensis variety kurstaki, and Cry1F, from B. thuringiensis variety aizawai, in transgenic cotton, Gossypium hirsutum L., plant structures. Terminal leaves, squares (flower buds), flowers, bolls (fruit), and mature leaves located five and eight nodes below the terminal apex were sampled during weeks 2, 4, and 6 after the initiation of anthesis. The effect of location (environment) significantly influenced protein expression levels, although similar trends were observed across locations. Cry1F was expressed at levels greater (1.1-29.0-fold) than that for CrylAc in all structures with exception to flowers. In contrast, the level of CrylAc in flowers was generally greater than Cry1F. Within each sampling period, concentrations of Cry1F in mature leaves (five and eight node) were greater than that for other structures. Expression was also greater for older, eight-node mature leaves than younger, five-node mature leaves. CrylAc expression in bolls was lowest compared with terminal leaves, squares, flowers, and mature leaves, which expressed at similar concentrations. Cry1F expression increased through time for mature leaves and terminal leaves; whereas, a decline in Cry1Ac protein concentration was observed for terminal leaves and bolls. The data presented here provides a means to understand observed levels of efficacy (patterns of insect damage) by comparing the spatial and temporal dynamics of expression for Cry1Ac and Cry1F in PhytoGen 440W transgenic cotton.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007300 Insect Control The reduction or regulation of the population of noxious, destructive, or dangerous insects through chemical, biological, or other means. Control, Insect
D003368 Gossypium A plant genus of the family MALVACEAE. It is the source of COTTON FIBER; COTTONSEED OIL, which is used for cooking, and GOSSYPOL. The economically important cotton crop is a major user of agricultural PESTICIDES. Cotton Plant,Cotton Plants,Gossypiums,Plant, Cotton,Plants, Cotton
D004731 Endotoxins Toxins closely associated with the living cytoplasm or cell wall of certain microorganisms, which do not readily diffuse into the culture medium, but are released upon lysis of the cells. Endotoxin
D004777 Environment The external elements and conditions which surround, influence, and affect the life and development of an organism or population. Environmental Impact,Environmental Impacts,Impact, Environmental,Impacts, Environmental,Environments
D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.

D006460 Hemolysin Proteins Proteins from BACTERIA and FUNGI that are soluble enough to be secreted to target ERYTHROCYTES and insert into the membrane to form beta-barrel pores. Biosynthesis may be regulated by HEMOLYSIN FACTORS. Hemolysin,Hemolysins,Hemalysins,Proteins, Hemolysin
D000083722 Bacillus thuringiensis Toxins Endotoxins produced by BACILLUS THURINGIENSIS used in transgenic plants and insecticides.
