Significantly lower leaf damage was noticed in transgenic chickpea lines when compared to non-transgenic lines. Significant reduction in larval survival and weight gain were observed when H. armigera were fed on transgenic lines under laboratory conditions. Across the seasons (2011-12 and 2012-13), the transgenic chickpea lines BS5A.2(T2) 19-1P2 and BS5A.2(T2) 19-2P1 showed enhanced levels of resistance to H. armigera. date: 2017 type: Article type: PeerReviewed format: application/pdf language: en identifier: http://oar.icrisat.org/10752/1/Evaluation%20of%20Cry%20IIa%20transgenic%20chickpea%20lines%20for%20resistance%20to%20Helicoverpa%20armigera.pdf identifier: Shaila, O and Sharma, H C and Ramesh Babu, T and Sharma, S P (2017) Evaluation of Cry IIa transgenic chickpea lines for resistance to Helicoverpa armigera (Hubner) using detached leaf assay.
