Transgenic avidin maize is resistant to storage insect pests

Nature Biotechnology, 2000
Avidin is a glycoprotein found in chicken egg white, that sequesters the vitamin biotin. Here we show that when present in maize at levels of > or =100 p.p.m., avidin is toxic to and prevents development of insects that damage grains during storage.
