Functional Characteristics of a Novel Chemosensory Protein in the Cotton Bollworm Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner)
Published 2013-05-01Get full textA chemosensory protein named HarmCSP5 in cotton bollworm Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner) was obtained from antennal cDNA libraries and expressed in Escherichia coli. The real time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) results indicated that HarmCSP5 gene was mainly expressed in male and female antennae but also...

Characterization and functional analysis of β-1,3-galactosyltransferase involved in Cry1Ac resistance from Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner)
Published 2015-02-01Get full textCarbohydrate chains are the principal antigens by which Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) identify receptor proteins. The interaction between the antigen and Bt causes a pore in the membrane of midgut epithelial cells of insects. Receptor proteins, such as aminopeptidase N and alkaline phosphatase, are gl...

The Binding Characterization of Cry Insecticidal Proteins to the Brush Border Membrane Vesicles of Helicoverpa armigera, Spodoptera exigua, Spodoptera litura and Agrotis ipsilon
Published 2013-09-01Get full textCry toxins produced by Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) are effective biological insecticides against certain insect species. However, there are potential risks of the evolved resistance of insects to Cry toxin owing to decreased binding of toxins to target sites in the brush border membranes of the larv...

Comparative Analysis of CrylAc Toxin Oligomerization and Pore Formation Between Bt-Susceptible and Bt-Resistant Helicoverpa armigera Larvae
Published 2012-11-01Get full textWith the long-term use of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) insecticide and expansion of Cry1A-expressing transgenic plants, some insect pests have developed resistance to Bt in open fields, greenhouses, and in the laboratory. Bt resistance is complex and there appear to be different ways for resistance d...

Transgenic cry1Ab/vip3H+epsps Rice with Insect and Herbicide Resistance Acted No Adverse Impacts on the Population Growth of a Non-Target Herbivore, the White-Backed Planthopper, U...
Published 2014-12-01Get full textNumerous Bt rice lines expressing Cry protein derived from Bacillus thuringiensis Berliner (Bt) have been developed since 1989. However, the potential risks posed by Bt rice on non-target organisms still remain debate. The white-backed planthopper (WBPH), Sogatella furcifera (Horváth), is one of the...

A Fragment of Cadherin-Like Protein Enhances Bacillus thuringiensis Cry1B and Cry1C Toxicity to Spodoptera exigua (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)
Published 2012-04-01Get full textCry toxins produced by Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) are effective biological insecticides against certain insect species. In this study, bioassay results indicated that Cry1B and Cry1C were toxic to Spodoptera exigua. We also identified a cadherin-like gene in S. exigua that could enhance the toxicit...
