Abstract
Wang, Y., Zhang, Y., Wang, F., Liu, C. and Liu, K. 2014. Development of transgenic Brassica napus with an optimized cry1C* gene for resistance to diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella). Can. J. Plant Sci. 94: 1501–1506. Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) cry1Ac gene has been transformed into rapeseed to control diamondback moth (DBM, Plutella xylostella), which is one of the major lepidopteran pests of rapeseed (Brassica napus). However, Cry1A-resistant DBM populations have already developed in the field. Cry1C* is a new synthetic Bt gene based on the original cry1Ca5 sequence through optimizing its codons as well as removing AT-rich sequences and inverted repeats. In our present study, the cry1C* gene was introduced into rapeseed via Agrobacterium-mediated transformation, and a total of 42 transgenic lines were recovered. The results of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and Southern blot both confirmed the expression of the cry1C* gene in the genomes of the transformants. We also assessed the expression of this foreign gene at the mRNA level in some selected transgenic lines by real-time reverse transcription (RT) PCR analysis. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) showed that the Cry1C* expression at the protein level greatly varied among individual transgenic plants, and transgenic line 1C-8 had the highest protein level of 799.32 ng g −1 . The transgenic rapeseed plants expressing cry1C* gene showed a high efficacy against DBM. Taken together, the cry1C*-transgenic rapeseed could be employed as a useful germplasm in pest management and in the broad bioinsecticidal spectrum to prevent and postpone the development of pest resistance.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
