| Abstract/Contents: | "Clavibacter xyli subsp. cynodontis is a gram-positive coryneform bacteria which lives non-pathogenically in the xylem of bermuda grass. Our goal is to transform the bacteria with a gene coding for one of the insecticidal proteins from Bacillus thuringiensis. Such a bacteria could then be transferred back into the host and would presumably confer upon it insect resistance. We have developed a procedure for transforming the bacteria with a plasmid using electroporation, and are currently cloning a B.t. toxin gene into the plasmid in preparation for transforming it into the bacteria. The transformed bacteria will then be transferred into uninfected bermuda grass and the grass tested for insecticidal properties. In addition, we are infecting various other turf grasses with the bacteria to determine if it can grow in other hosts." |
