Effect of Cry1Ab protein on hemocytes of the wolf spider Pardosa pseudoannulata

Studies on the effect of Cry1Ab protein on hemocytes of the wolf spider Pardosa pseudoannulata revealed that Cry1Ab protein could accumulate in the four-instar and adult spiders via the food chain from transgenic rice expressing Cry1Ab protein through its prey brown planthoppers with approximate 20-time enrichment, but could not accumulate in hemolymph of the spider. The accumulated Cry1Ab had no significant effects on several elements of hemolymph including stored energy, calcium ion concentration and apoptosis rate of the hemocytes, indicating that Cry1Ab could not affect the hemocytes of P. pseudoannulata.     

转Bt基因稻谷对印度谷螟生长发育的影响

为建立仓储阶段转Bt水稻安全性评价中靶标害虫抗性汰选研究体系,配制了含不同比例(70%,50%,30%,10%)转Bt基因(Cry1Ab/Cry1Abc)明辉63水稻谷粉(简称Bt谷粉)的人工饲料饲喂印度谷螟Plodia interpunctella(Hübner),测定其对1～3龄幼虫在72h内的急性毒力,及对印度谷螟种群生长发育的影响,并采用ELISA法检测转基因稻谷和末龄幼虫体内Bt蛋白含量。结果发现:4种比例人工饲料对幼虫的毒力作用均发生在取食48h后,72h后剂量效应明显。含Bt水稻较高比例的饲料对印度谷螟发育的负面效应明显:幼虫死亡率高,发育历期延长。Bt蛋白在幼虫体内含量与对应饲料中的含量基本成正比。综合考虑,将Bt杀虫蛋白含量2.35μg/g作为转Bt基因稻谷对印度谷螟的亚致死剂量最为合适。     

转Bt基因水稻表达的毒蛋白Cry1Ab在害虫及其捕食者体内的积累动态

在室内对转基因水稻KMD1中的Cry1Ab毒蛋白经食物链在几种主要害虫及其捕食性天敌体内的积累进行了研究。结果表明： 无论是水稻孕穗期还是成熟期,二化螟Chilo suppressalis连续取食KMD1或取食KMD1.36 h后移至对照品种秀水11上取食不同时间后,幼虫体内的Cry1Ab含量均随取食时间延长逐渐下降。稻眼蝶 Mycalesis gotama幼虫连续取食KMD1或在KMD1上取食两天后移至秀水11上继续取食不同时间,体内的Cry1Ab含量也都随取食时间延长而下降,但下降速度较二化螟更快。取食KMD1的二化螟和稻眼蝶幼虫的粪便中均检测到较高浓度的Cry1Ab,对照组中均无Cry1Ab。取食KMD1的二化螟幼虫血淋巴中检测到Cry1Ab,含量为3.5 ng/g。取食KMD1的褐飞虱 Nilaparvata lugens、稻蚜Sitobion avenae以及饲喂取食过KMD1的二化螟或稻眼蝶幼虫的拟水狼蛛Pirata subpiraticus体内都含有一定浓度的Cry1Ab,其中,拟水狼蛛体内的CrylAb含量以饲喂取食KMD1稻眼蝶幼虫的含量最高,约为饲喂取食KMD1二化螟幼虫的60倍。这些结果表明Cry1Ab可以沿水稻害虫天敌食物链传递。     

多年种植Bt稻后外源蛋白在土壤中的积累

外源蛋白在环境中的残留与积累是转Bt基因作物环境安全评价的重要内容之一。我国已育成多个具有商业化前景的Bt稻品系,但目前多年种植Bt稻后Bt外源蛋白是否会在土壤中积累还不清楚。本研究在同一试验田连续9年种植了转cry1Ab/1Ac基因明恢63(华恢1号)和转cry2A基因明恢63水稻,采用酶联免疫吸附法(ELISA)跟踪监测了分蘖期和收获后60 d根际土中外源蛋白含量变化,试验第1年(2012年)和最后1年(2020年)还测定了苗期、开花期和成熟期根际土中外源蛋白含量。结果表明: 2012年,转cry1Ab/1Ac基因明恢63在苗期、分蘖期、开花期、成熟期和收获后60 d根际土中外源蛋白含量分别为1.25、1.77、1.97、1.71和0.30 ng·g^-1,2020年分别为1.30、1.69、2.03、1.77和0.43 ng·g^-1;2012年,转cry2A基因明恢63在苗期、分蘖期、开花期、成熟期和收获后60 d根际土中外源蛋白含量分别为0.91、1.52、1.53、1.37和0.12 ng·g^-1,2020年分别为0.95、1.43、1.61、1.40和0.15 ng·g^-1。多因素方差分析显示,时间效应对Bt外源蛋白积累不显著,而品种和生育期效应显著。Bt稻生长过程中根际土中可以检测出微量的Bt外源蛋白,但收获后60 d已经基本降解完毕,根际土中Bt外源蛋白含量不会随着种植时间的增加而累积。     

转基因cry1Ab在高粱不同器官中的表达水平

用Cry1Ab/Cry1Ac板式试剂盒测定了Cry1Ab蛋白在转基因高粱不同器官中的表达水平。结果表明,不同组织器官的Cry1Ab蛋白含量有明显差异,其顺序为叶鞘>叶>颖壳>籽粒>根>茎髓,在花药中则检测不到;不同部位的叶片、叶鞘和茎髓的Cry1Ab蛋白含量也有较大差异,中部叶的Cry1Ab蛋白含量高于上部叶和基部叶,叶鞘中是中部>基部>上部,茎髓中则表现为基部最高。     

Cry1A毒素与二化螟中肠刷状缘膜囊泡受体蛋白配基结合分析

分离和鉴定二化螟Chilo suppresalis幼虫中肠刷状缘膜囊泡（BBMV）中Cry1A毒素的受体蛋白,对于阐明Cry1A毒素作用机理和二化螟抗性机理具有十分重要的意义。为此,本文就Cry1A毒素对二化螟杀虫活性及Cry1Ac与二化螟中肠受体的配基结合进行了研究。结果表明: Cry1Ab对二化螟室内品系(CN)的毒力高于Cry1Ac,而Cry1Ac高于Cry1Aa。配基结合分析表明二化螟CN品系幼虫中肠BBMV中有6个Cry1Ac结合蛋白(分子量分别为50,70,90,120,160和180 kDa), 其中180,160和90 kDa结合蛋白的条带颜色明显深于其他结合蛋白的条带,表明这3个受体蛋白具有较高的结合浓度。同源竞争结合研究表明,180和90 kDa结合蛋白为Cry1Ac的低亲合性结合蛋白,其他4个为高亲合性结合蛋白。为了研究Cry1Ac和Cry1Ab受体结合部位的相互作用,进行了异源竞争结合研究。Cry1Ab可以与Cry1Ac所有的6个结合蛋白进行竞争性结合,与180,120,70和50 kDa结合蛋白具有高亲合性,而与160和90 kDa结合蛋白具有低亲合性。结果显示,Cry1Ac与Cry1Ab在二化螟幼虫中肠BBMV上拥有多个共享的结合位点,但对每个结合位点的亲合性有差异。基于毒素结合部位的相似性,Cry1Ac和Cry1Ab不宜同时用于转基因Bt水稻来控制二化螟。     

Bt水稻秸秆还田对赤子爱胜蚓生长发育和生殖的影响

Bt蛋白能通过转Bt基因作物的秸秆还田进入土壤,进而可能会对土壤动物如蚯蚓的生长发育和生殖造成影响.为评估Bt水稻对赤子爱胜蚓的影响,本文模拟秸秆还田,在土壤中添加2.5%、5%、7.5%和10% Bt水稻(b2B138)及其同源水稻(安丰A)秸秆,分别在饲养赤子爱胜蚓7、15、30、45、60、75和90 d后观测蚯蚓的存活率、相对生长率和生殖情况,以及秸秆土壤混合物和蚯蚓体内的Cry1Ab蛋白含量.结果表明:较高还田量(7.5%和10%)Bt水稻秸秆处理对赤子爱胜蚓存活率有抑制作用;Bt水稻秸秆还田对赤子爱胜蚓的相对生长率没有不利影响;还田量为5%、7.5%和10%时,Bt水稻秸秆还田能促进蚯蚓的生殖.酶联免疫吸附测定法(ELISA)结果表明: 在Bt水稻土壤混合物中,蚯蚓体内均能检测到Cry1Ab蛋白,且前者随着时间延长而显著减少.因此,还田量为2.5%和5%时,Bt水稻秸秆还田释放的Cry1Ab蛋白对赤子爱胜蚓的生长发育和生殖没有不利影响.     

Cry1Ab杀虫蛋白在水稻-褐飞虱-拟水狼蛛食物链中转移与富集

采用ELISA方法检测了2个转cry1Ab基因水稻（Bt水稻）品系KMD1和KMD2不同生育期叶鞘内Cry1Ab杀虫蛋白的含量及其通过褐飞虱和拟水狼蛛的转移和富集情况。结果表明,这2个品系中抽穗期和黄熟期叶鞘内Cry1Ab的含量均显著低于苗期、分蘖期和孕穗期,KMD1和KMD2中Cry1Ab杀虫蛋白可以通过食物链转移到Bt水稻非靶标害虫褐飞虱及其天敌拟水狼蛛体内。褐飞虱在KMD1或KMD2上取食2 d后,体内均含有Cry1Ab杀虫蛋白,但连续取食2、4、6、8和10 d后,其体内含量并未因取食时间的延长而呈现明显增加的趋势。当拟水狼蛛捕食以KMD1或KMD2为食的褐飞虱时,在捕食2、4、6、8和10 d后,其体内均可检测到Cry1Ab杀虫蛋白,其含量并未随捕食时间的延长而明显上升,但均显著高于相应时间褐飞虱体内的含量。可见,该蛋白可通过水稻转移至褐飞虱,再转移至拟水狼蛛,并存在明显的富集现象,而这种富集并不随蜘蛛捕食时间的延长而加强。拟水狼蛛捕食以KMD1或KMD2为食的褐飞虱时,其捕食量未受到显著影响,其中肠酶粗提物对Cry1Ab杀虫蛋白具有明显的降解作用。     

Bt水稻秸秆还田对赤子爱胜蚓生长发育和生殖的影响

Bt蛋白能通过转Bt基因作物的秸秆还田进入土壤,进而可能会对土壤动物如蚯蚓的生长发育和生殖造成影响.为评估Bt水稻对赤子爱胜蚓的影响,本文模拟秸秆还田,在土壤中添加2.5%、5%、7.5%和10% Bt水稻(b2B138)及其同源水稻(安丰A)秸秆,分别在饲养赤子爱胜蚓7、15、30、45、60、75和90 d后观测蚯蚓的存活率、相对生长率和生殖情况,以及秸秆土壤混合物和蚯蚓体内的Cry1Ab蛋白含量.结果表明:较高还田量(7.5%和10%)Bt水稻秸秆处理对赤子爱胜蚓存活率有抑制作用;Bt水稻秸秆还田对赤子爱胜蚓的相对生长率没有不利影响;还田量为5%、7.5%和10%时,Bt水稻秸秆还田能促进蚯蚓的生殖.酶联免疫吸附测定法(ELISA)结果表明: 在Bt水稻土壤混合物中,蚯蚓体内均能检测到Cry1Ab蛋白,且前者随着时间延长而显著减少.因此,还田量为2.5%和5%时,Bt水稻秸秆还田释放的Cry1Ab蛋白对赤子爱胜蚓的生长发育和生殖没有不利影响.     

A 90-Day Dietary Toxicity Study of Genetically Modified Rice T1C-1 Expressing Cry1C Protein in Sprague Dawley Rats

In a 90-day study, Sprague Dawley rats were fed transgenic T1C-1 rice expressing Cry1C protein and were compared with rats fed non-transgenic parental rice Minghui 63 and rats fed a basal diet. No adverse effects on animal behavior or weight gain were observed during the study. Blood samples were collected and analyzed, and standard hematological and biochemical parameters were compared. A few of these parameters were found to be significantly different, but were within the normal reference intervals for rats of this breed and age, and were thus not considered to be treatment-related. Following sacrifice, a large number of organs were weighed, and macroscopic and histopathological examinations were performed with no changes reported. The aim of this study was to use a known animal model to determine the safety of the genetically modified (GM) rice T1C-1. The results showed no adverse or toxic effects due to T1C-1 rice when tested in this 90-day study.     

Cry2Ab蛋白对龟纹瓢虫的安全性研究

【目的】转基因作物对非靶标昆虫的影响是转基因作物环境安全评价的重要内容,研究Cry2Ab蛋白对龟纹瓢虫的影响,对转基因作物的环境安全评价具有重要意义。【方法】采用实验动物学、分子生物学等方法,研究Cry2Ab蛋白对龟纹瓢虫发育历期、成虫体重、雌雄比例及体内氨基酸种类和含量的影响。【结果】与蔗糖对照组相比,Cry2Ab蛋白对龟纹瓢虫不同龄期的发育历期、成虫体重和雌雄比例均无明显差异,对体内氨基酸种类和含量也没有显著差异。【结论】Cry2Ab蛋白对龟纹瓢虫的生长发育及代谢无显著影响。     

Heritability of tolerance to the Cry1Ab toxin of Bacillus thuringiensis in Chilo suppressalis (Lepidoptera: Crambidae)

Heritability of Chilo suppressalis (Walker) tolerance to the Cry1Ab toxin of Bacillus thuringiensis Berliner was estimated using a half-sibling design. Artificial diet with and without Cry1Ab was infested with progenies of 20 males, each mated with 2 females, and mortality was scored 5 d after infestation. The progeny of each female was reared and scored separately. Mean mortality of the 20 families on the Cry1Ab diet was 46.5%. The effects of both male parent and of female parent within male parent were significant. Heritability was estimated to be 0.52, suggesting that a high proportion of phenotypic variation was because of genetic differences. Mortality on the Cry1Ab diet was not correlated with mortality on control diet, indicating that differences among families in tolerance to Cry1Ab were not attributable to differences in general fitness. Our results indicate that "high dose" Bt rice plants may be particularly important for Cry1Ab resistance management in C. suppressalis populations.     

Bt抗、感种群亚洲玉米螟幼虫取食Bt玉米后Cry1Ab杀虫蛋白在其体内的组织分布与含量

采用ELISA方法检测了实验室汰选的对Cry1Ab产生107倍抗性的亚洲玉米螟Ostrinia furnacalis (Guenée)种群与敏感种群3龄幼虫取食表达Cry1Ab杀虫蛋白的Bt玉米心叶后,杀虫蛋白在幼虫体内的分布情况。结果表明：Cry1Ab杀虫蛋白在抗性种群幼虫中的组织分布情况与敏感种群相近,主要存在于中肠组织和血淋巴中。抗、感种群中均以含有内含物的中肠组织中含量最高,分别为277.2 ng/g 和104.9 ng/g;其次为血淋巴,分别为93.7 ng/g 和69.5 ng/g;不含内含物的中肠组织中52.7 ng/g 和40.1 ng/g;在丝腺和马氏管组织的含量很低,丝腺中分别为8.5 ng/g和11.7ng/g,而马氏管中分别为6.7 ng/g和6.5 ng/g。脂肪体、生殖器官中未检测到杀虫蛋白。抗性种群中肠组织(含有内含物和不含内含物)中Cry1Ab的含量显著高于敏感种群。幼虫期取食过Bt玉米的亚洲玉米螟发育的蛹、成虫及其卵中均不含杀虫蛋白,说明Bt杀虫蛋白不会通过幼虫取食向蛹、成虫及卵传递。     

Inheritance and expression of the cry1Ab gene in Bt ( Bacillus thuringiensis) transgenic rice

The inheritance and expression patterns of the cry1Ab gene were studied in the progenies derived from different Bt (Bacillus thuringiensis) transgenic japonica rice lines under field conditions. Both Mendelian and distorted segregation ratios were observed in some selfed and crossed F₂ populations. Crosses between japonica intra-subspecies had no significant effect on the segregation ratios of the cry1Ab gene, but crossing between japonica and indica inter-subspecies led to distorted segregation of the cry1Ab gene in the F₂ population. Field-release experiments indicated that the cry1Ab gene was stably transmitted in an intact manner via successive sexual generations, and the concentration of the Cry1Ab protein was kept quantitatively stable up to the R₆ generation. The cry1Ab gene, driven by the maize ubiquitin promoter, displayed certain kinds of spatial and temporal expression patterns under field conditions. The content of the Cry1Ab protein varied in different tissues of the main stems, the primary tillers and the secondary tillers. Higher levels of the Cry1Ab protein were found in the stems, leaves and leaf sheaths than in the roots, while the lowest level was detected in grains at the maturation stage. The content of the Cry1Ab protein in the leaves peaked at the booting stage and was lowest at the heading stage. Furthermore, the Cry1Ab content of cry1Ab expression in different tissues of transgenic rice varied individually with temperature. Received: 17 April 2001 / Accepted: 7 May 2001     

Baseline susceptibility of Cnaphalocrocis medinalis (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) to Bacillus thuringiensis toxins in China

Geographic variability in susceptibility of field-collected Cnaphalocrocis medinalis (Guenée) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) to Bacillus thuringiensis (Berliner) was studied to establish a geographic baseline for comparison of future population responses to the increased use of B. thuringiensis-based insect control products. Colonies of C. medinalis were established from 10 populations collected from 10 different provinces in the major rice (Oryza savita L.)-growing regions of China. Populations were evaluated for their susceptibility to Cry1Ac and Cry1Ab endotoxin proteins with the leaf-dip bioassay. The LC50 values to Cry1Ac and Cry1Ab were estimated for the 10 populations. Bioassay results indicated that the ranges of LC50 in the second instars of C. medinalis to Cry1Ac and Cry1Ab were from 3.77 to 208.22 mg ([AI])/liter and 0.22-7.05 mg ([AI])/liter, respectively. The relative ratios in susceptibility between the most susceptible and the most tolerant populations were beyond 50-fold for Cry1Ac and 30-fold for Cry1Ab. Moreover, there was a significant positive correlation between susceptibilities to the two toxins tested, suggesting that insect populations that are relatively tolerant to one protein are also relatively tolerant to the other.     

Cry1Ab protein levels in phytophagous insects feeding on transgenic corn: implications for secondary exposure risk assessment

Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) and bioassays were used to estimate levels of Cry1Ab protein in four species of phytophagous insects after feeding on transgenic Bt-corn plants expressing Cry1Ab protein or artificial diets containing Cry1Ab protein. The level of Cry1Ab in insects feeding on sources containing the Cry1Ab protein was uniformly low but varied with insect species as well as food source. For the corn leaf aphid, Rhopalosiphum maidis (Fitch), feeding on diet solutions containing Cry1Ab protein, the level of the protein in the aphid was 250–500 times less than the original levels in the diet, whereas no Cry1Ab was detected by ELISA in aphids feeding on transgenic Bt-Corn plants. For the lepidopteran insects, Ostrinia nubilalis (Hübner), Helicoverpa zea (Boddie), and Agrotis ipsilon (Hufnagel), levels of Cry1Ab in larvae varied significantly with feeding treatment. When feeding for 24 h on artificial diets containing 20 and 100 ppm of Cry1Ab, the level of Cry1Ab in the larvae was about 57 and 142 times lower, respectively, than the original protein level in the diet for O. nubilalis, 20 and 34 times lower for H. zea, and 10 to 14 times lower for A. ipsilon. Diet incorporation bioassays with a susceptible insect (first instar O. nubilalis) showed significant Cry1Ab bioactivity present within whole body tissues of R. maidis and O. nubilalis that had fed on diet containing a minimum of 20 ppm or higher concentrations (100 or 200 ppm) of Cry1Ab, but no significant bioactivity within the tissues of these insects after feeding on transgenic Bt-corn plants. The relevance of these findings to secondary exposure risk assessment for transgenic Bt crops is discussed.     

Laboratory and field assessments of prey-mediated effects of transgenic Bt rice on Ummeliata insecticeps (Araneida: Linyphiidae)

One major concern regarding the release of Bt rice is its potential impact through tritrophic interactions on nontarget arthropods, especially natural enemies. We studied the effects of two Bt transgenic rice varieties, TT9- 3 and KMD1, expressing Cry1Ab/Cry1Ac and Cry1Ab, respectively, on a predatory ground spider [Ummeliata insecticeps (B?senberg et Strand)] supplied with Bt rice-fed brown planthopper [Nilaparvata lugens (St?l)] nymphs. Although immunoassays confirmed that U. insecticeps ingested Bt insecticidal protein when supplied with Bt rice-fed N. lugens, no negative effects were found on its survival and development. Furthermore, the fecundity of U. insecticeps fed prey reared on Bt rice was not significantly different from that of those fed prey reared on non-Bt rice. A 3-yr field trial indicated that Bt rice did not significantly affect the population density of U. insecticeps in comparison with non-Bt rice. In conclusion, the Bt rice lines tested in this study had no adverse effects on the survival, developmental time, or fecundity of U. insecticeps in the laboratory or on population dynamics in the field.     

A Comprehensive Assessment of the Effects of Transgenic Cry1Ac/Cry1Ab Rice Huahui 1 on Adult Micraspis discolor (Fabricius) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae)

Micraspis discolor (Fabricius) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) is a widely distributed coleoptera predator in southern Asia in rice ecosystem, and adult M. discolor feed on both rice pollen and soft-bodied arthropods. Bitrophic bioassay and tritrophic bioassay were conducted to evaluate the potential impact of Cry1Ac/Cry1Ab-expressing rice Huahui 1 and its non-transgenic counterpart Minghui 63 on fitness parameters of adult M. discolor. The results showed that the survival, and fecundity of this beetle’ adults were not different when they fed on Bt rice or non-Bt rice pollen or Nilaparvata lugens (Stål) reared on Bt rice or non-Bt rice. Toxicity assessment to ensure M. discolor adults were not sensitive to Cry1Ab or Cry1Ac protein independent from the pollen background, M. discolor adults were fed with an artificial diet containing Cry1Ac, Cry1Ab or both protein approximately 10 times higher concentration than in Huahui 1 rice pollen. No difference was detected for any of the life-table parameters tested between Cry protein-containing and pure diet. Artificial diet containing E-64 (N-(trans-Epoxysuccinyl)-L-leucine 4-guanidinobutylamide) was included as a positive control. In contrast, the pre-oviposition and fecundity of M. discolor were significantly adversely affected by feeding on E-64-containing diet. In both bioassays, the uptakes of Cry protein by adult M. discolor were tested by ELISA measurements. These results indicated that adults of M. discolor are not affected by Cry1Ab- or Cry1Ac-expressing rice pollen and are not sensitive to Cry protein at concentrations exceeding the levels in rice pollen in Huahui1. This suggests that M. discolor adults would not be harmed by Cry1Ac/Cry1Ab rice if Bt rice Huahui 1 were commercialized.     

Expression of Cry1Ab and Cry2Ab by a Polycistronic Transgene with a Self-Cleavage Peptide in Rice

Insect resistance to Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) crystal protein is a major threat to the long-term use of transgenic Bt crops. Gene stacking is a readily deployable strategy to delay the development of insect resistance while it may also broaden insecticidal spectrum. Here, we report the creation of transgenic rice expressing discrete Cry1Ab and Cry2Ab simultaneously from a single expression cassette using 2A self-cleaving peptides, which are autonomous elements from virus guiding the polycistronic viral gene expression in eukaryotes. The synthetic coding sequences of Cry1Ab and Cry2Ab, linked by the coding sequence of a 2A peptide from either foot and mouth disease virus or porcine teschovirus-1, regardless of order, were all expressed as discrete Cry1Ab and Cry2Ab at high levels in the transgenic rice. Insect bioassays demonstrated that the transgenic plants were highly resistant to lepidopteran pests. This study suggested that 2A peptide can be utilized to express multiple Bt genes at high levels in transgenic crops.     

Cry2Ab蛋白对甜菜夜蛾和斜纹夜蛾低龄幼虫的抗性

【背景】在我国,由于Bt棉的种植,棉铃虫和红铃虫等靶标害虫得到了控制,但棉田其他鳞翅目害虫如甜菜夜蛾和斜纹夜蛾的危害仍较严重。美国商业化种植的双价棉BollgardⅡ所表达的Cry2Ab蛋白不仅对棉铃虫有较好的控制效果,而且对甜菜夜蛾和草地贪夜蛾有较好的控制作用。因此,该双价棉在我国被环境释放前,有必要研究其对棉田其他鳞翅目害虫的影响。【方法】在人工饲料中分别添加质量浓度为1．25、2．5、5．0、10．0和20．0μg·g^-1的Cry2Ab蛋白,采用生物测定的方法,在室内研究了其对甜菜夜蛾和斜纹夜蛾低龄幼虫存活率和体质量抑制率的影响。【结果】随着Cry2Ab蛋白浓度的增大,甜菜夜蛾初孵幼虫和1龄幼虫的存活率逐渐降低,2龄幼虫和3龄幼虫以及斜纹夜蛾各龄期幼虫的存活率在不同浓度处理下与对照差异均不显著。但与对照相比,高浓度处理对这2种害虫各龄期幼虫的体质量均有显著影响。【结论与意义】高浓度Cry2Ab蛋白（10．0和20．0μg·g^-1）对甜菜夜蛾低龄幼虫有较好的控制作用,但对斜纹夜蛾低龄幼虫的控制效果不太理想。这为该双价基因棉花在我国的推广提供了依据。
