Document Summary
The far(cid:373)er"s dile(cid:373)(cid:373)a: su(cid:373)(cid:373)ary: billy a(cid:374)d thel(cid:373)a"s orga(cid:374)i(cid:272) (cid:272)or(cid:374) far(cid:373) is i(cid:374)fested with (cid:272)or(cid:374) (cid:271)orers. They dis(cid:272)uss solutions and evaluate the use of bt corn, a gmo corn that synthesizes the bt toxin: bt toxin created by bacillus thuringiensis. They produce this at a specific stage of life cycle. Crystal present on leaves, and caterpillar eats the crystal, which travels through the gut. Becomes active in larvae gut due to ph change. Can bind to specific receptors of epithelium of gut membrane and create perforation of gut. Start at vegetative cycle, then asymmetric cell division occurs, releasing free endospore: have thick cell wall for protection (exosporium, bacterial cells must get atp from source to sporulate. The dead bacteria cells release their nutrients, and the bacteria that release the skf and sdp use these nutrients for energy to sporulate, in conditions where there is a lack of nutrients.
