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 most economically important insect pests of rice in Asian countries and also one of the main non-target herbivores of transgenic rice. In the current study, impacts of transgenic cry1Ab/vip3H＋epsps rice （G6H1） with both insect and herbicide resistance on WBPH were evaluated to ascertain whether this transgenic rice line had potential risks for this sap-sucking pest under laboratory and ifeld conditions. The laboratory results showed that no signiifcant difference in egg developmental duration, nymphal survival rate and female fecundity was found for WBPH between G6H1 and its non-transgenic isoline （XS110）. However, the development duration of nymphs was signiifcantly shorter and female longevity signiifcantly longer when WBPH fed on G6H1 by comparison with those on its control. To verify the results found in laboratory, a 3-yr ifeld trial was conducted to monitor WBPH population using both the vacuum-suction machine and beat plate methods. Although the seasonal density of WBPH nymphs and total density of nymphs and adults were not signiifcantly affected by transgenic rice regardless of the sampling methods, the seasonal density of WBPH adults in transgenic rice plots was slightly lower than that in the control when using the vacuum-suction machine. Based on these results both from laboratory and ifeld, it is clear that our tested transgenic rice line will not lead higher population of WBPH. However, long-term ifeld experiments to monitor the population dynamics of WPBH at large scale need to be conducted to conifrm the present conclusions in future.展开更多

文摘苏云金芽胞杆菌cry基因启动子常用于构建蛋白表达载体。为探讨苏云金芽胞杆菌cry基因启动子指导Vip3Aa蛋白表达情况及杀虫活性,以p UC19载体为基础,运用重叠引物PCR方法构建Vip3Aa11表达载体,并与由T7启动子指导的Vip3Aa11表达蛋白杀虫活性、抗胰蛋白酶稳定性比较,初步探索发酵条件。结果表明,cry1Ac启动子与T7启动子均在上清液中表达大小为88 ku Vip3Aa11蛋白,对甜菜夜蛾、棉铃虫杀虫活性差异不显著,cry1Ac基因启动子在37℃、48 h更适合Vip3Aa11蛋白的表达,为vip基因表达、功能验证及杀虫机理等研究提供新思路。
