N1  - The authors thank the staff of entomology, ICRISAT
for their support in carrying out the experiments.
N2  - Studies were conducted to evaluate transgenic chickpea lines encoding Cry IIa for resistance to Helicoverpa armigera.
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.
