Summary
This chapter looks at the results of a unique public-private partnership instituted to provide resource-constrained farmers in the developing world with access to proprietary agri-biotechnologies. Eggplant, a widely consumed vegetable crop in the tropics, is commonly infested by the eggplant fruit and shoot borer (EFSB), which devastates both plants in the field during development and eggplant fruits after harvesting. The chapter considers the application of insect-resistance technology (based on the Cry lAc protein from Bacillus thuringiensis) in eggplant, focusing on its sublicensing from a private company to a partnership of public institutes and agricultural universities in Bangladesh, India, and the Philippines.
