Impact of Helicoverpa armigera nucleopolyhedroviruses expressing a cathepsin L-like protease on target and nontarget insect species on cotton
2009-04-01
Abstract excerpt
Baculoviruses have been genetically engineered to improve their insecticidal properties and reduce crop damage. In this study, a recombinant Helicoverpa armigera nucleopolyhedrovirus (HearNPV-cathL) expressing a cathepsin L-like cysteine protease from the flesh fly, Sarcophaga peregrina, was constructed. Its insecticidal properties in the laboratory, occlusion body yield in diseased larvae, efficacy of protecting...
