Fuente: WIPO "biotechnology" A method of improving the vigor or yield of a crop plant is disclosed herein. The method involves introgressing a transgenic event comprising transgenes that encode an insecticidal protein and selectable marker protein into a crop plant, wherein the transgenic event and/or a protein thereof modulates in a transgenic crop plant tolerance to at least one abiotic stress condition when grown in a location essentially free of an insect pest population that is susceptible to the insecticidal protein.
