Microbial control and biotechnology research on Bacillus thuringiensis in China.

摘要: The current status of production and application biopesticides for pest control in China is briefly reviewed, with a focus on research advances microbial Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt). These have led to improvements Bt production, exploitation gene resources, development engineered insecticides transgenic crops that expanded host ranges increased efficacy against target pests. Both conventional biotechnology approaches need be employed achieve further progress discovery, technology, formulation processing, quality standards recommended use patterns.
