The highly efficient plant binary expression vector pGBIF4ABCVHB was constructed using the artificially modified, synthesized VHb gene and fused insectidal gene (GFMcryIA and CPTI). Transgenic tobacco plants were obtained by Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. For 32 plants, the bivalent genes were inserted successfully into the tobacco genome and detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification. Southern blot and Western blot analyses showed that VHb gene was expressed in the transgenic plants. Toxicity assay indicated that the fused insectidal gene expressed pesticidal toxin protein. The net weight of transgenic tobacco plants exceeded that of non-transgenic ones by 8%. Compared to non-transgenic tobacco plants, transgenic plants appeared to be high-yielding, insect-resistant varieties.
