Figure 8.

Pink Bollworm P. gossypiella mortality assays in different transgenic cotton plants. Figure 8a and b, in non-transgenic cotton plants, the cotton boll showed to be completely damaged by P. gossypiella and and larvae that were still alive are highlighted with a red circle mark. Figure 8c and d, in transgenic plants transformed with the double Bt-gene (cry1Fa and cry32Aa), the plant bolls showed insect resistance and only one locule was damaged but P. gossypiella larvae were dead. Figure 8e and f in the transgenic plants transformed with double Bt-gene (cry1Fa and cry32Aa) and double AnPME and AtPME gene in the same plant; the plants showed full resistance and even spotted was found dead on leaf and P. gossypiella free cotton was fully developed
