Trees other than fruit trees: tea, mulberry, flowering trees and shrubs, street trees (e.g. Japanese ash, birch, flowering dogwood, blue gum, ginkgo, lilac, maple, oak, poplar, Chinese redbud, Formosa sweet gum, plane tree, zelkova, Japanese arborvitae, fir, Japanese hemlock, needle juniper, pine, Japanese spruce and Japanese yew), etc.

The above-mentioned "crops" also include those

imparted with resistance to herbicides, such as HPPD

inhibitors (e.g., isoxaflutole) , ALS inhibitors (e.g., imazethapyr and thifensulfuron-methyl) , EPSP synthetase inhibitors, glutamine synthetase inhibitors, bromoxynil and dicamba, by way of a classic breeding method or genetic recombination technology.

Examples of the "crops" imparted with resistance by the classic breeding method include Clearfield ® canola resistant to imidazolinone-based herbicides (e.g.,

imazethapyr) , STS soybean resistant to sulfonylurea-based ALS inhibition type herbicides such as thifensulfuron- methyl, or the like. Further, examples of the crops imparted with resistance by the genetic recombination technology include corn cultivars resistant to glyphosate and gluphosinate, which have been already on the market under the trade name of RoundupReady ® , RoundupReady 2 ® and LibertyLink ® .

The above-mentioned "crops" also include plants in which the genetic recombination technology has enabled to synthesize, for example, a selective toxin known as genus Bacillus .

Examples of toxins produced in such genetically modified plants include insecticidal proteins derived from Bacillus cereus and Bacillus popilliae; insecticidal proteins such as δ-endotoxins (e.g. CrylAb, CrylAc, CrylF, CrylFa2, Cry2Ab, Cry3A, Cry3Bbl and Cry9C) , VIP1, VIP2, VIP3 and VIP3A, which are derived from Bacillus

thuringiensis; toxins derived from nematodes; toxins produced by animals, such as scorpion toxin, spider toxin, bee toxin and insect-specific neurotoxins; filamentous fungi toxins; plant lectins; agglutinin; protease

inhibitors such as trypsin inhibitors, serine protease inhibitor, patatin, cystatin and papain inhibitors;

ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIP) such as ricin, corn- RIP, abrin, rufin, sapolin and priodin; steroid metabolic enzymes such as 3-hydroxysteroid oxidase, ecdysteroid-UDP- glucosyltransferase and cholesterol oxidase; ecdysone inhibitors; H G-COA reductase; ion channel inhibitors such as a sodium channel inhibitors and calcium channel

inhibitors; juvenile hormone esterase; diuretic hormone acceptors; stilbene synthetase; bibenzyl synthetase;

chitinase; and glucanase.

The toxins produced in such genetically modified crops also include hybrid toxins, partially deficient toxins and modified toxins of insecticidal proteins, such as δ- endotoxin proteins (e.g. CrylAb, CrylAc, CrylF, CrylFa2, Cry2Ab, Cry3A, Cry3Bbl and Cry9C) , VIPl, VIP2, VIP3 and VIP3A. The hybrid toxins are produced by a novel

combination of the different domains of such a protein by adopting recombination technology. The known partially deficient toxin is CrylAb, in which a part of amino acid sequence is deficient. In the modified toxins, one or a plurality of amino acids of a natural toxin are replaced.

Examples of such toxins and genetically modified plants capable of synthesizing such toxins are described in EP-A-0 374 753, WO 93/07278, WO 95/34656, EP-A-0 427 529, EP-A-451 878, WO 03/052073, etc.

The toxins contained in such genetically modified plants impart resistance to insect pests of Coleoptera, insect pests of Diptera and insect pests of Lepidoptera to the plants.

Further, it has already been known that there are genetically modified plants containing one or a plurality of insecticidal pest-resistant genes and capable of producing one or a plurality of toxins. Some of them are commercially available. Examples of such genetically modified plants include such as YieldGard ® (a corn cultivar capable of producing a CrylAb toxin) , YieldGard Rootworm ® (a corn cultivar capable of producing a Cry3Bbl toxin) , YieldGard Plus ® (a corn cultivar capable of producing

CrylAb and Cry3Bbl toxins), Herculex I ® (a corn cultivar capable of producing phosphinotrysin N-acetyltransferase (PAT) for imparting resistance to a CrylFa2 toxin and
