    An optimized
    vip3A
    gene, designated as
    vip3A*
    was chemically synthesized and a
    thi1
    gene chloroplast transit peptide coding sequence was attached to its 5′ end to produce the
    tvip3A*
    .
    vip3A*
    and
    tvip3A*
    genes were transformed into
    Gossypium hirsutum
    cv. Zhongmiansuo35 mediated by
    Agrobacterium tumefaciens
    . Four independent transgenic T1 lines with single-copy insertions and unchanged phenotypes (CTV1 and CTV2 for
    tvip3A*
    , and CV1 and CV2 for
    vip3A*
    ) were selected by Polymerase chain reaction (
    PCR
    ), Reverse transcription (RT)-PCR, Southern blotting, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and insect bioassay. As expected, the Vip3A* protein of CTV1 and CTV2 were transported to the chloroplasts, where they accumulated. Our results suggest that the two
    tvip3A*
    transgenic lines (CTV1 and CTV2) can be used to develop insect-resistant cultivars and could be used as a resource for raising multi-toxins-expressing transgenic cotton.
