Expression of 2.6kb Enhancin Gene Fragment from Helicoverpa atmigera Granulosis Virus
Abstract: The 2.6kb fragment of enhancing gene from Helicoverpa armigera granulosis virus was inserted into vector pQE32 and expressed successfully in E.coli M15.The synergy of expression product(P 102 ) on Helicoverpa armigera nuclear polyhedrosis virus(HaNPV)and Bt against the 2nd instar larvae of H.armigera was studied.The results indicated that the accumulated mortality of the larvae increased 6.25%~27.09% on 168h post infection and the median lethal time decrease at least 12.3h in HaNPV+En treated compared with those in HaNPV treated.The accumulated mortality of the larvae increase 28.18% on 72h postinfection and the median lethal time decreased 12.33h in Bt+En treated compared with that in Bt treated.
