Expression vector pE14 with double resistance to virus and insect was constructed by inserting CW-cp gene and Bt-toxin gene one by into T-DNA of the same binary vector pE3. Tobacco was then transformed with Agrbacterium tumefaciens (At)GV311-SE carrying PE14. Nopaline assay and PCR amplification confirmed that both CW-cp gene and Bt-toxin gene had been introduced into tobacco genome by T-DNA of PE3. Test attack with virus and demonstrated, in some of the transgenic plants, double resistance to both infection by CMV and damage by Manduca sexta.
