Avidin and plant biotechnology to control pests
Popis výsledku v původním jazyce
In this review, we discuss the application of transgenic avidin, a protein naturally occurring in eggwhite, in the protection of rice, maize, potato and apple leaf from insect pests. Avidin binds the vitamin, biotin with extraordinary affinity (10minus15M). Biotin is a watersoluble vitamin that is required for normal cellular metabolism and growth. The presence of avidin in the diet of insect pests is lethal since biotin is unavailable to them. The use of streptavidin, a bacterial homologue of avidin,is also described. We discuss the subcellular targeting of avidin expression in plants to avoid toxicity to the plant host and we describe the qualities of avidin which make it suitable for crop protection during cultivation and storage. Avidin is stableunder normal conditions of crop storage but biodegradable and destroyed by cooking. These combined qualities make it an excellent choice for the protection of crops from insects.
