Brown planthopper (BPH), green leafhopper (GLH) and whitebacked planthopper (WBPH) bioassays on T 2 transgenic plants of Chaitanya and BPT5204 plants. (A) 30-day old transgenic lines along with respective controls infested with BPH; (B) 30-day old transgenic lines along with respective controls infested with GLH; (C) 30-day old transgenic lines along with respective controls infested with WBPH; (D) Honeydew excretion by female BPH (R1: Row 1), GLH (R2: Row 2) and WBPH (R3: Row 3) insects after 24 hours of feeding on controls and transgenic rice plants; Rows 1 and 12: (var.TN-1) plants showing complete damage, Rows 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, and 8: Chaitanya transgenic lines showing resistance against BPH, GLH and WBPH, Row 6 A: Resistant check for BPH (var. PTB33), Row 6 B: Resistant check for GLH (var. Vikramarya), Row 6 C: Resistant check for WBPH (var. MO-1), Rows 9 and 10: BPT5204 transgenic lines showing resistance against BPH, GLH and WBPH, Row 11: Untransformed Chaitanya control plants. Photographs were taken after 14 days of infestation. D) 1 and 2 represent untransformed controls of Chaitanya and BPT5204, 3 and 4 represent T49 and T51 transgenic rice lines of Chaitanya, 5 represent T63transgenic rice line of BPT5204.
