PLANTS WITH INCREASED RESISTANCE TO COLORADO POTATO BEETLES, METHOD OF PRODUCING THE SAME, AND METHOD OF DETERMINING RESISTANCE TO COLORADO POTATO BEETLES IN PLANTS

摘要

To provide plants with increased resistance to Colorado potato beetles, a method of producing the same, and a method of determining the resistance to Colorado potato beetles in plants.SOLUTION: It has been found that a Spirosolan skeleton 23-hydroxylase gene and a Spirosolan skeleton 23-acetyltransferase gene, derived from S. chacoense, S. tuberosum, and S. lycopersicum, are involved in the biosynthesis of a leptin, which is responsible for the resistance to Colorado potato beetles.SELECTED DRAWING: None
