Wound‐inducible hybrid Bt protein <scp>SN19</scp> confers pest control and resistance delay through localized expression in transgenic maize
Localized induction of the hybrid Bt protein SN19 through the AoPR1 promoter offers an efficient strategy for maize protection that minimizes Bt accumulation in edible tissues, reduces metabolic load and may delay resistance evolution. This inducible platform provides a promising tool for sustainable pest management and can be extended to other crops and hybrid pesticidal genes. © 2025 Society of Chemical Industry.
