The "cry1Ac" gene is under the transcriptional control of an enhanced cauliflower mosaic virus 35S (CaMV35S) promoter, which ensures the gene is expressed in all the brinjal's tissue throughout its complete life cycle. "NptII" and "aad" are selectable marker genes, "nptII" is used to identify transgenic plants
