- W2031932624 abstract "Abstract Genetic engineering of plant resistance characteristics against fungi may unintentionally influence traits that are important for plant–herbivore interactions. We studied the palatability of transgenic birch (Betula pendula), aspen (Populus tremula) and hybrid aspen (P. tremula x tremuloides) genetically modified with the aim to improve fungal disease resistance, to selective mammalian herbivores in cafeteria tests. Roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) were fed with transgenic birch carrying a sugar beet chitinase IV gene. In the experiment with roe deer, none of the six transgenic birch lines differed significantly from the wild-type control in the proportion of consumed plant biomass. Correlation analyses suggested that sugar content did not guide the feeding preferences of roe deer but revealed a positive correlation between starch content and proportion of mass consumed. However, the variation in starch content could not be related to the level of transgene expression. Mountain hares (Lepus timidus) were fed with plant material from chitinase transgenic birch and aspen and hybrid aspen that carried a pinosylvin synthase gene from Scots pine. One transgenic birch line was significantly less palatable to hares than the wild-type control. The results of this study suggest that plant genotype may be related to the palatability of plant material when transgenic and wild-type woody plant material is used as winter food for hares. The results of this case study did not reveal changes in the palatability of the studied transgenic lines that could be readily related to the functioning of the used transgenes.
