Transgenic rice plants with increased resistance to rice brown planthopper (Nilaparvata lugens Stal) were generated by particle bombardment-mediated transformation of plants with a gene encoding snowdrop lectin (Galanthus nivalis agglutinin; GNA) under control of the rice Rubisco small subunit (rbcS) promoter.. A large number of transgenic rice plants containing the GNA gene were generated. The integration, expression, and inheritance of this gene in the R1 and R2 generations were demonstrated by Southern and western blot analyses. The plants contained one to five copies of the transgene. The GNA protein comprised approximately 0.01-2.0% of total soluble protein in the R1 and R2 transgenic plants. Insect bioassays and feeding studies showed that the GNA protein expressed in the R2 transgenic rice plants reduced the survival of brown planthoppers. The introduction of GNA into rice plants therefore can help to control insect pests.
