33 results about "Genetically modified insect" patented technology

A genetically modified (GM) insect is an insect that has been genetically modified, either through mutagenesis, or more precise processes of transgenesis, or cisgenesis. Motivations for using GM insects include biological research purposes and genetic pest management. Genetic pest management capitalizes on recent advances in biotechnology and the growing repertoire of sequenced genomes in order to control pest populations, including insects. Insect genomes can be found in genetic databases such as NCBI, and databases more specific to insects such as FlyBase, VectorBase, and BeetleBase. There is an ongoing initiative started in 2011 to sequence the genomes of 5,000 insects and other arthropods called the i5k. Some Lepidoptera (e.g. monarch butterflies and silkworms) have been genetically modified in nature by the wasp bracovirus.

Production of human glycosylated proteins in transgenic insects

This invention relates, e.g., to transgenic insects, or progeny thereof, whose cells contain at least one genomically integrated, expressible, nucleic acid encoding two or more of a set of Nglycosylation enzymes that can glycosylate a heterologous protein with a mammalianized (e.g., humanized) glycosylation pattern. The glycosylation genes are preferably expressed in the insect cells in catalytic amounts. Also described are methods to use such a transgenic insect to produce heterologous, mammalianized polypeptides of interest.

Corn with transgenic insect protection traits utilized in combination with drought tolerance and/or reduced inputs particularly fertilizer

The subject invention relates in part to the use of insect-protected corn to modify fertility recommendations for given yield targets on any transgenic corn type. The insect-protected plants are unexpectedly more effective at assimilating not only nitrogen but also less valuable nutrients such as phosphorous, potassium and micronutrients such as zinc. The subject invention also relates to the discovery that transgenic corn plants with insect protection traits exhibit drought tolerance. For example, the protected plants are also much more effective at extracting moisture and are therefore more drought resistant and require less supplemental irrigation to produce the same yields as unprotected plants.
