摘　　要：Transgenic cotton carrying the CrylAc gene has revolutionized insect pest control since its adoption,although the development of resistance in insect pests has reduced its efficacy.After 10 years of cultivating Bacillus thuringiensis(Bt)cotton with a single Cry1 Ac gene,growers are on the verge of adopting Bt cotton that carries the double gene(Cry1 Ac+Cry2 A)due to its better effectiveness against insect pests.Thus,the current study was designed to evaluate the role of each gene in the effectiveness of Bt cotton carrying the double gene.The expression levels of the Cry1 Ac and Cry2 A genes were evaluated in the leaves of 10 genotypes(2 parents and 8 Fhybrids)at 30 days after sowing(DAS),while samples of leaves,bolls and flowers were taken from the upper and lower canopies at 70 and 110 DAS.The Fhybrids were developed through reciprocal crosses between two Bt(CKC-1,CKC-2)and two non-Bt(MNH-786,FH-942)parents.The differential expression of transgenes was evaluated through Enzyme Linked Immuno-Sorbent Assay(ELISA).The results showed that the MNH786 xCKC-1 hybrid had the highest concentrations of Cry1 Ac gene at30 DAS(3.08μg g^(-1))and 110 DAS(1.01μg g^(-1))in leaves.In contrast,the CKC-2 xMNH-786 hybrid showed the lowest concentrations of Cry1 Ac gene at 30 DAS(2.30μg g^(-1))and 110 DAS(0.86μg g^(-1)).The Fhybrid FH-942×CKC-2 showed the highest concentrations of Cry2 A gene at 30 DAS(8.39μg g^(-1))and 110 DAS(7.74μg g^(-1))in leaves,while the CKC-1 xMNH-786 hybrid expressed the lowest concentrations of Cry2 A gene at 30 DAS(7.10μg g^(-1))and 110 DAS(8.31μg g^(-1)).A comparison between the two stages of plant growth showed that leaves had the highest concentrations at 30 DAS,whereas the lowest concentrations were observed at 110 DAS for both genes in leaves.When the expression pattern was compared between various plant parts in genotype CKC-2,it was found that leaves had higher concentrations of Cry1 Ac(3.12μg g^(-1))and Cry2 A(8.31μg g^(-1))at 70 DAS,followed by bolls(Cry1 Ac(1.66μg g^(-1))and Cry2 A(8.
