Abstract:To solve the resistance risk problem of the widely applied cry1A gene and screen high toxic Lepidoptera specific cry genes, two cry9Aa genes from strain SC5D2 and T03C001 were identified and cloned respectively. The two genes were designated as cry9Aa3 and cry9Aa4 by International Nomenclature Committee of Bt Endotoxin. Furthermore, the toxicity of the two genes was evaluated. The results indicated that both the two toxins had high insecticidal activities against Plutella xylostella and Ostrinia furnacalis. The toxicity of the two toxins to P.xylostella with LC50 were 1.83μg/mL and 1.90μg/mL respectively while to O.furnacalis with LC50 were 6.93μg/mL and 1.06μg/mL. Also, the two toxins had high insecticidal activities against Cry1Ac-R P.xylostella strain with LC50 of 1.74μg/mL and 1.39μg/mL, respectively, similar to that against Cry1Ac-S P.xylostella strain. The results suggested that Cry9Aa toxin exhibited no cross-resistant to Cry1Ac toxin against P.xylostella.
