The expression of a bacterial cytokinin biosynthesis gene (PI-II-ipt) in Nicotiana plumbaginifolia Viviani plants has been correlated with enhanced resistance to Manduca sexta and Myzus persicae. We expressed the PI-II-ipt gene in N. tabacum and Lycopersicon esculentum and observed similar antifeedent effects with the transgenic tobacco but not tomato. A 30 to 50 % reduction in larval weight gain was observed with some of the tomato plants but these results could not be repeated consistently. Leaf surface extracts from transgenic N. plumbaginifolia leaves killed 100 % of M. sexta second instars at concentrations of 0.05 % (w/v) whereas the N. tabacum extracts were at least 20 times less active. Extract suspensions were stable for up to 2 days at ambient temperatures below 42 degrees C and for at least 3 months at 4 degrees C when stored in the dark. HPLC analysis of the N. plumbaginifolia extracts yielded an active fraction that reduced hatching of M. sexta eggs by 30 % and killed first. second and third instars within 24, 45 and 72 hours of exposure, respectively. The activity appears to be associated with oxygen-containing aliphatic compounds, possibly diterpenes, as analyzed by TLC, UV absorption and fragmentation with EIMS. Based on the partial characterization of this activity, the production, secretion or accumulation of secondary metabolites in leaves of cytokinin producing PI-II-ipt N. plumbaginifolia plants appears to be responsible for the observed insect resistance.
