Development of selectable marker‐free transgenic potato plants expressing <i><scp>cry3A</scp></i> against the Colorado potato beetle (<i>Leptinotarsa decemlineata</i> Say)

Abstract

We successfully eliminated SMGs from the transgenic potato lines expressing cry3A in order to decrease CPB damage, control the spread of this pest eastwards and alleviate the concern regarding the safe assessment of regulatory requirements. © 2015 Society of Chemical Industry.
