Plutella xylostella (Linnaeus) has become the most destructive pest in cabbage throughout the world. Cry1Ia8 cabbage has been developed to reduce pest attacks. To gain a better understanding of the efficacy of Cry1Ia8 cabbage, a homozygous Cry1Ia8 cabbage line A14-5 was produced, and its resistance to P. xylostella, Pieris rapae (Linnaeus) and other lepidopteran pests was evaluated in the field in 2011, 2012 and 2013.
Under natural infestation conditions, the homozygous transgenic line was highly resistant against P. xylostella and P. rapae as compared with the untransformed control and susceptible to Mamestra brassicae (Linnaeus) and Spodoptera exigua (Hübner). The homozygous transgenic plants showed slight symptoms of damaged leaves by lepidopteran species, while the untransformed plants exhibited serious damage symptoms throughout the cabbage growing season.
Compared with the control, the homozygous transgenic cabbage line showed great potential for protecting cabbage from attack by P. xylostella and P. rapae in the field.
小菜蛾已成为全球甘蓝上最具破坏性的害虫。转Cry1Ia8基因甘蓝已培育出来以减少害虫侵害。为了更好地了解转Cry1Ia8基因甘蓝的功效,培育出了纯合的Cry1Ia8甘蓝品系A14 - 5,并于2011年、2012年和2013年在田间评估了其对小菜蛾、菜粉蝶及其他鳞翅目害虫的抗性。
在自然虫害条件下,与未转化对照相比,纯合转基因品系对小菜蛾和菜粉蝶具有高抗性,而对甘蓝夜蛾和甜菜夜蛾敏感。纯合转基因植株仅表现出轻微的鳞翅目害虫造成的叶片损伤症状,而未转化植株在整个甘蓝生长季节都表现出严重的损伤症状。
与对照相比,纯合转基因甘蓝品系在田间保护甘蓝免受小菜蛾和菜粉蝶侵害方面具有巨大潜力。
