Weevil resistant sweetpotato through biotechnology

Biotechnology has been applied to introduce synthetic genes that produce proteins with activity against the weevils. Out of about 30 transgenic events, one with the Cry3Ca1 gene displayed reduced infection and damages by weevils in a confined field trial in Puerto Rico. New gene constructs expected...
