Description

控制害虫的方法
本申请要求2013年11月15日提交的发明名称为“控制害虫的方法”的中国专利申请第201310573441.6号的优先权，其全文通过引用并入本文。
技术领域
本申请涉及一种控制害虫的方法，特别是涉及一种用在植物中表达的Vip3A蛋白来控制斜纹夜蛾为害植物的方法。
背景技术
斜纹夜蛾(Spodoptera litura)属鳞翅目夜蛾科，为杂食性和暴食性害虫，为害寄主相当广泛，除玉米和大豆外，还可危害包括瓜、茄、豆、葱、韭菜、菠菜以及十字花科蔬菜、粮食、经济作物等近100科、300多种植物；斜纹夜蛾属世界性分布，国内各地都有发生，主要发生在长江流域和黄河流域。斜纹夜蛾主要以幼虫为害全株、低龄时群集叶背啃食；3龄后分散为害叶片、嫩茎、老龄幼虫可蛀食果实。
玉米和大豆是中国重要的粮食作物，每年因斜纹夜蛾造成的粮食损失巨大，更甚者影响到当地人口的生存状况。为了防治斜纹夜蛾，人们通常采用的主要防治方法有：农业防治、化学防治和物理防治。
农业防治是把整个农田生态系统多因素的综合协调管理，调控作物、害虫、环境因素、创造一个有利于作物生长而不利于斜纹夜蛾发生的农田生态环境。如清除杂草，收获后翻耕晒土或灌水，以破坏或恶化其化蛹场所，有助于减少虫源；或者结合管理随手摘除卵块和群集危害的初孵幼虫，以减少虫源。因农业防治大多为预防性措施，应用有一定的局限性，不能作为应急措施，在斜纹夜蛾爆发时就显得无能为力。
化学防治即农药防治，是利用化学杀虫剂来杀灭害虫，是斜纹夜蛾综合治理的重要组成部分，它具有快速、方便、简便和高经济效益的特点，特别是斜纹夜蛾大发生的情况下，是必不可少的应急措施，它可以在斜纹夜蛾造成危害前将其消灭。目前化学防治方法主要是药剂喷施。但化学防治也有其局限性，如使用不当往往会导致农作物发生药害、害虫产生抗药性，以及减少天敌、污染环境，使农田生态系统遭到破坏和农药残留对人、畜的安全构成威胁等不良后果。
物理防治主要根据害虫对环境条件中各种物理因素的反应，利用各种物理因素如光、 电、色、温湿度等及机械设备进行诱杀、辐射不育等方法来防治害虫。目前应用比较广泛的方法主要有点灯诱蛾、糖醋诱杀和柳枝蘸洒500倍敌百虫诱杀蛾子；上述方法虽然有不同程度的防治效果，但是在操作上具有一定的难度。
为了解决农业防治、化学防治和物理防治在实际应用中的局限性，科学家们经过研究发现将编码杀虫蛋白的抗虫基因转入植物中，可获得一些抗虫转基因植物以防治植物虫害。Vip3A杀虫蛋白是众多杀虫蛋白中的一种，是由蜡状芽孢杆菌产生的特异性蛋白质。
Vip3A蛋白通过激发凋亡类型的细胞程序性死亡对敏感性昆虫具有毒杀效应。Vip3A蛋白在昆虫肠道内被水解为4种主要蛋白产物，其中只有一种蛋白水解产物(33KD)为Vip3A蛋白的毒性核心结构。Vip3A蛋白结合敏感昆虫的中肠上皮细胞，启动细胞程序性死亡，造成中肠上皮细胞的溶解导致昆虫死亡。对非敏感昆虫不产生任何病症，不会导致中肠上皮细胞的凋亡和溶解。
已证明转Vip3A基因的植株可以抵抗小地老虎、草地贪夜蛾、大螟、玉米夜蛾等鳞翅目(Lepidoptera)害虫的侵害，然而，至今尚无关于通过产生表达Vip3A蛋白的转基因植株来控制斜纹夜蛾对植物危害的报道。

具体实施方式
斜纹夜蛾(Spodoptera litura)与草地贪夜蛾(Spodoptera frugiperda)同属鳞翅目夜蛾科，为杂食性害虫，均为害玉米、大豆、棉花、甘薯等。尽管如此，斜纹夜蛾与草地贪夜蛾在生物学上是清晰的、截然不同的物种，至少存在以下主要区别：
1、食性不同。斜纹夜蛾是一类杂食性和暴食性害虫，间歇性猖獗为害，危害寄主相当广泛，取食甘薯、棉花、芋、莲、田菁、大豆、烟草、甜菜和十字花科和茄科蔬菜等近300种植物；草地贪夜蛾为多食性，但明显嗜好禾本科，最常为害杂草、玉米、水稻、高粱、甘蔗，也为害棉花、十字花科、葫芦科、花生、苜蓿、洋葱、菜豆属、甘薯、番茄及其他茄科植物(茄皮紫、烟草、辣椒属)、多种观赏相物(菊科、康乃馨、天竺葵属)。
2、分布区域不同。斜纹夜蛾属世界性分布，中国各地都有发生，主要发生在长江流域的江西、江苏、湖南、湖北、浙江、安徽和黄河流域的河南、河北、山东等省。而草地贪夜蛾主要分布在境外，包括美洲的加拿大、墨西哥、美国、阿根廷、玻利维亚、巴西、智利、哥伦比亚、厄瓜多尔、法属圭亚那、圭亚那、巴拉圭、秘鲁、苏里南、乌拉圭、委 内瑞拉及整个中美洲和加勒比海地区，在中国未见有草地贪夜蛾存在的报道。
3、为害习性不同。斜纹夜蛾以幼虫为害全株，小龄时群集叶背啃食下表皮及叶肉，仅留上表皮呈透明斑；3龄后分散为害叶片、嫩茎；4龄以后进入暴食，咬食叶片，仅留主脉；老龄幼虫可蛀食果实；其食性既杂又危害各器官，老龄时形成暴食，是一种危害性很大的害虫。而草地贪夜蛾幼虫取食叶片可造成落叶，其后转移为害；有时大量幼虫以切根方式为害，切断种苗和幼小植株的茎；在大一些的作物上，如玉米穗，幼虫可钻入为害；取食玉米叶时，留有大量孔；低龄幼虫取食后，叶脉成窗纱状；老龄幼虫同切根虫一样，可将30日龄的幼苗沿基部切断；种群数量大时，幼虫如行军状，成群扩散；环境有利时，常留在杂草中。
4、形态特征不同。
1)卵形态不同：斜纹夜蛾的卵呈扁平的半球状，初产黄白色，后变为暗灰色，块状粘合在一起，上覆黄褐色绒毛；而草地贪夜蛾的卵半球形，卵块聚产在叶片表面，每卵块含卵100-300粒，有时成Z层，卵块表面有雌虫腹部灰色毛形成的带状保护层。
2)幼虫形态不同：斜纹夜蛾幼虫体长33-50毫米，头部黑褐色，胸部多变，从土黄色到黑绿色都有，体表散生小白点，冬节有近似三角形的半月黑斑一对，幼虫一般6龄；而草地贪夜蛾幼虫初孵时全身绿色，具黑线和斑点；生长时，仍保持绿色或成为浅黄色，并具黑色背中线和气门线；如密集时(种群密度大，食物短缺时)，末龄幼虫在迁移期几乎为黑色；老熟幼虫体长35-40mm，在头部具黄色倒Y型斑，黑色背毛片着生原生刚毛(每节背中线两侧有2根刚毛)；腹部末节有呈正方形排列的4个黑斑；幼虫有6个龄期，偶为5个。
3)蛹形态不同：斜纹夜蛾的蛹长15-20mm，圆筒形，红褐色，尾部有一对短刺；而草地贪夜蛾蛹棕色，有光泽，长18-20mm。
4)成虫形态不同：斜纹夜蛾成虫体长14-20mm左右，翅展35-46mm，体暗褐色，胸部背面有白色丛毛，前翅灰褐色，花纹多，内横线和外横线白色、呈波浪状、中间有明显的白色斜阔带纹，所以称斜纹夜蛾；而草地贪夜蛾成虫粗壮，灰棕色，翅展32-38mm；雌虫前翅灰色至灰棕色，但雄虫前翅更黑，具黑斑和浅色暗纹；后翅白色，后翅翅脉棕色并透明；微虫外生殖器抱握瓣正方形，抱器末端地抱器缘刻缺；雌虫交配囊无交配片。
5、生长习性和发生规律不同。斜纹夜蛾一年发生4代(华北)-9代(广东)，一般以老熟幼虫或蛹在田基边杂草中越冬，广州地区无真正越冬现象；在长江流域以北的地区，该虫冬季易被冻死，越冬问题尚未定论，推测当地虫源可能从南方迁飞过去；长江流域多在7-8月大发生，黄河流域则多在8-9月大发生。成虫夜出活动，飞翔力较强，具趋光性 和趋化性，对糖醋酒等发酵物尤为敏感。每只雌蛾能产卵3-5块，每块约有卵位100-200个，卵多产于叶背的叶脉分叉处，以茂密、浓绿的作物产卵较多，堆产，卵块常覆有鳞毛而易被发现，卵的孵化适温是24℃左右；幼虫在气温25℃时，历经14-20天，初孵幼虫具有群集危害习性，3龄以后则开始分散，老龄幼虫有昼伏性和假死性，白天多潜伏在土缝处，傍晚爬出取食，遇惊就会落地蜷缩作假死状。当食料不足或不当时，幼虫可成群迁移至附近田块危害，故又有“行军虫”的俗称；化蛹的适合土壤湿度是土壤含水量在20％左右，蛹期为11-18天。斜纹夜蛾是一种喜温性而又耐高温的间歇猖獗危害的害虫，各虫态的发育适温为28-30℃，但在高温下(33-40℃)，生活也基本正常；抗寒力很弱，在冬季0℃左右的长时间低温下，基本上不能生存。一般高温年份和季节有利其发育、繁殖，低温则易引致虫蛹大量死亡。该虫食性虽杂，但食料情况，包括不同的寄主，甚至同一寄主不同发育阶段或器官，以及食料的丰缺，对其生育繁殖都有明显的影响。间种、复种指数高或过度密植的田块有利其发生。天敌有寄生幼虫的小茧蜂和多角体病毒等。而草地贪夜蛾成虫可以迁飞，能自行扩散相当距离，蔬菜或水果夹带幼虫是重要的国际间传播方式；草地贪夜蛾在美洲有规律地1年迁飞1次，扩散至整个美国；产卵前期(性成熟发育)广泛扩散，在美国，成虫可借低空气流在30小时内从密西西比州扩散到加拿大；夏末或秋初，幼虫常成群迁移，因而，成功地局部扩散，有利于减少幼虫死亡率。
综合上述，可确定斜纹夜蛾与草地贪夜蛾是不同的害虫，且亲缘关系较远，相互间无法交配产生后代。
本申请中所述的植物、植物组织或植物细胞的基因组，是指植物、植物组织或植物细胞内的任何遗传物质，且包括细胞核和质体和线粒体基因组。
本申请中所述的“接触”，是指昆虫和/或害虫触碰、停留和/或取食植物、植物器官、植物组织或植物细胞，所述植物、植物器官、植物组织或植物细胞既可以是其体内表达杀虫蛋白，还可以是所述植物、植物器官、植物组织或植物细胞的表面具有杀虫蛋白和/或具有产生杀虫蛋白的微生物。
本申请的术语“控制”和/或“防治”是指斜纹夜蛾害虫与Vip3A蛋白接触，接触后斜纹夜蛾害虫生长受到抑制和/或导致死亡。进一步地，斜纹夜蛾害虫通过摄食植物组织与Vip3A蛋白接触，接触后全部或部分斜纹夜蛾害虫生长受到抑制和/或导致死亡。抑制是指亚致死，即尚未致死但能引起生长发育、行为、生理、生化和组织等方面的某种效应，如生长发育缓慢和/或停止。同时，植物在形态上应是正常的，且可在常规方法下培养以用于产物的消耗和/或生成。此外，含有编码Vip3A蛋白的多核苷酸序列的控制斜纹夜蛾害虫的植物和/或植物种子，在人工接种斜纹夜蛾害虫和/或斜纹夜蛾害虫自然发生危害的条件 下，与非转基因的野生型植株相比具有减弱的植物损伤，具体表现包括但不限于改善的茎秆抗性、和/或提高的籽粒重量、和/或增产等。Vip3A蛋白对斜纹夜蛾的“控制”和/或“防治”作用是可以独立存在的，不因其它可“控制”和/或“防治”斜纹夜蛾害虫的物质的存在而减弱和/或消失。具体地，转基因植物(含有编码Vip3A蛋白的多核苷酸序列)的任何组织同时和/或不同步地，存在和/或产生，Vip3A蛋白和/或可控制斜纹夜蛾害虫的另一种物质，则所述另一种物质的存在既不影响Vip3A蛋白对斜纹夜蛾的“控制”和/或“防治”作用，也不能导致所述“控制”和/或“防治”作用完全由所述另一种物质实现，而与Vip3A蛋白无关。通常情况下，在大田，斜纹夜蛾害虫摄食植物组织的过程短暂且很难用肉眼观察到，因此，在人工接种斜纹夜蛾害虫和/或斜纹夜蛾害虫自然发生危害的条件下，如转基因植物(含有编码Vip3A蛋白的多核苷酸序列)的任何组织存在死亡的斜纹夜蛾害虫、和/或在其上停留生长受到抑制的斜纹夜蛾害虫、和/或与非转基因的野生型植株相比具有减弱的植物损伤，即为实现了本申请的方法和/或用途，即通过斜纹夜蛾害虫与Vip3A蛋白接触以实现控制斜纹夜蛾害虫的方法和/或用途。
本申请中所述的多核苷酸和/或核苷酸形成完整“基因”，在所需宿主细胞中编码蛋白质或多肽。本领域技术人员很容易认识到，可以将本申请的多核苷酸和/或核苷酸置于目的宿主中的调控序列控制下。
本领域技术人员所熟知的，DNA典型的以双链形式存在。在这种排列中，一条链与另一条链互补，反之亦然。由于DNA在植物中复制产生了DNA的其它互补链。这样，本申请包括对序列表中示例的多核苷酸及其互补链的使用。本领域常使用的“编码链”指与反义链结合的链。为了在体内表达蛋白质，典型将DNA的一条链转录为一条mRNA的互补链，它作为模板翻译出蛋白质。mRNA实际上是从DNA的“反义”链转录的。“有义”或“编码”链有一系列密码子(密码子是三个核苷酸，一次读三个可以产生特定氨基酸)，其可作为开放阅读框(ORF)阅读来形成目的蛋白质或肽。本申请还包括与示例的DNA有相当功能的RNA和PNA(肽核酸)。
本申请中核酸分子或其片段在严格条件下与本申请Vip3Aa基因杂交。任何常规的核酸杂交或扩增方法都可以用于鉴定本申请Vip3Aa基因的存在。核酸分子或其片段在一定情况下能够与其他核酸分子进行特异性杂交。本申请中，如果两个核酸分子能形成反平行的双链核酸结构，就可以说这两个核酸分子彼此间能够进行特异性杂交。如果两个核酸分子显示出完全的互补性，则称其中一个核酸分子是另一个核酸分子的“互补物”。本申请中，当一个核酸分子的每一个核苷酸都与另一个核酸分子的对应核苷酸互补时，则称这两个核酸分子显示出“完全互补性”。如果两个核酸分子能够以足够的稳定性相互杂交从而 使它们在至少常规的“低度严格”条件下退火且彼此结合，则称这两个核酸分子为“最低程度互补”。类似地，如果两个核酸分子能够以足够的稳定性相互杂交从而使它们在常规的“高度严格”条件下退火且彼此结合，则称这两个核酸分子具有“互补性”。从完全互补性中偏离是可以允许的，只要这种偏离不完全阻止两个分子形成双链结构。为了使一个核酸分子能够作为引物或探针，仅需保证其在序列上具有充分的互补性，以使得在所采用的特定溶剂和盐浓度下能形成稳定的双链结构。
本申请中，基本同源的序列是一段核酸分子，该核酸分子在高度严格条件下能够和相匹配的另一段核酸分子的互补链发生特异性杂交。促进DNA杂交的适合的严格条件，例如，大约在45℃条件下用6.0×氯化钠/柠檬酸钠(SSC)处理，然后在50℃条件下用2.0×SSC洗涤，这些条件对本领域技术人员是公知的。例如，在洗涤步骤中的盐浓度可以选自低度严格条件的约2.0×SSC、50℃到高度严格条件的约0.2×SSC、50℃。此外，洗涤步骤中的温度条件可以从低度严格条件的室温约22℃，升高到高度严格条件的约65℃。温度条件和盐浓度可以都发生改变，也可以其中一个保持不变而另一个变量发生改变。优选地，本申请所述严格条件可为在6×SSC、0.5％SDS溶液中，在65℃下与SEQ ID NO:3或SEQ ID NO:4发生特异性杂交，然后用2×SSC、0.1％SDS和1×SSC、0.1％SDS各洗膜1次。
因此，具有抗虫活性并在严格条件下与本申请SEQ ID NO:3和/或SEQ ID NO:4杂交的序列包括在本申请中。这些序列与本申请序列至少大约40％-50％同源，大约60％、65％或70％同源，甚至至少大约75％、80％、85％、90％、91％、92％、93％、94％、95％、96％、97％、98％、99％或更大的序列同源性。
本申请中所述的基因和蛋白质不但包括特定的示例序列，还包括保存了所述特定示例的蛋白质的杀虫活性特征的部分和/片段(包括与全长蛋白质相比在内和/或末端缺失)、变体、突变体、取代物(有替代氨基酸的蛋白质)、嵌合体和融合蛋白。所述“变体”或“变异”是指编码同一蛋白或编码有杀虫活性的等价蛋白的核苷酸序列。所述“等价蛋白”是指与权利要求的蛋白具有相同或基本相同的抗斜纹夜蛾害虫的生物活性的蛋白。
本申请中所述的DNA分子或蛋白序列的“片段”或“截短”是指涉及的原始DNA或蛋白序列(核苷酸或氨基酸)的一部分或其人工改造形式(例如适合植物表达的序列)，前述序列的长度可存在变化，但长度足以确保(编码)蛋白质为昆虫毒素。
使用标准技术可以修饰基因和容易的构建基因变异体。例如，本领域熟知制造点突变的技术。又例如美国专利号5605793描述了在随机断裂后使用DNA重装配产生其它分子多样性的方法。可以使用商业化核酸内切酶制造全长基因的片段，并且可以按照标准程 序使用核酸外切酶。例如，可以使用酶诸如Bal31或定点诱变从这些基因的末端系统地切除核苷酸。还可以使用多种限制性内切酶获取编码活性片段的基因。可以使用蛋白酶直接获得这些毒素的活性片段。
本申请可以从B.t.分离物和/或DNA文库衍生出等价蛋白和/或编码这些等价蛋白的基因。有多种方法获取本申请的杀虫蛋白。例如，可以使用本申请公开和要求保护的杀虫蛋白的抗体从蛋白质混合物鉴定和分离其它蛋白。特别地，抗体可能是由蛋白最恒定和与其它B.t.蛋白最不同的蛋白部分引起的。然后可以通过免疫沉淀、酶联免疫吸附测定(ELISA)或western印迹方法使用这些抗体专一地鉴定有特征活性的等价蛋白。可使用本领域标准程序容易的制备本申请中公开的蛋白或等价蛋白或这类蛋白的片段的抗体。然后可以从微生物中获得编码这些蛋白的基因。
由于遗传密码子的丰余性，多种不同的DNA序列可以编码相同的氨基酸序列。产生这些编码相同或基本相同的蛋白的可替代DNA序列正在本领域技术人员的技术水平内。这些不同的DNA序列包括在本申请的范围内。所述“基本上相同的”序列是指有氨基酸取代、缺失、添加或插入但实质上不影响杀虫活性的序列，亦包括保留杀虫活性的片段。
本申请中氨基酸序列的取代、缺失或添加是本领域的常规技术，优选这种氨基酸变化为：小的特性改变，即不显著影响蛋白的折叠和/或活性的保守氨基酸取代；小的缺失，通常约1-30个氨基酸的缺失；小的氨基或羧基端延伸，例如氨基端延伸一个甲硫氨酸残基；小的连接肽，例如约20-25个残基长。
保守取代的实例是在下列氨基酸组内发生的取代：碱性氨基酸(如精氨酸、赖氨酸和组氨酸)、酸性氨基酸(如谷氨酸和天冬氨酸)、极性氨基酸(如谷氨酰胺、天冬酰胺)、疏水性氨基酸(如亮氨酸、异亮氨酸和缬氨酸)、芳香氨基酸(如苯丙氨酸、色氨酸和酪氨酸)，以及小分子氨基酸(如甘氨酸、丙氨酸、丝氨酸、苏氨酸和甲硫氨酸)。通常不改变特定活性的那些氨基酸取代在本领域内是众所周知的，并且已由，例如，N.Neurath和R.L.Hill在1979年纽约学术出版社(Academic Press)出版的《Protein》中进行了描述。最常见的互换有Ala/Ser，Val/Ile，Asp/Glu，Thu/Ser，Ala/Thr，Ser/Asn，Ala/Val，Ser/Gly，Tyr/Phe，Ala/Pro，Lys/Arg，Asp/Asn，Leu/Ile，Leu/Val，Ala/Glu和Asp/Gly，以及它们相反的互换。
对于本领域的技术人员而言显而易见地，这种取代可以在对分子功能起重要作用的区域之外发生，而且仍产生活性多肽。对于由本申请的多肽，其活性必需的并因此选择不被取代的氨基酸残基，可以根据本领域已知的方法，如定点诱变或丙氨酸扫描诱变进行鉴定(如参见，Cunningham和Wells，1989，Science 244：1081-1085)。后一技术是在分子 中每一个带正电荷的残基处引入突变，检测所得突变分子的抗虫活性，从而确定对该分子活性而言重要的氨基酸残基。底物-酶相互作用位点也可以通过其三维结构的分析来测定，这种三维结构可由核磁共振分析、结晶学或光亲和标记等技术测定(参见，如de Vos等，1992，Science 255：306-312；Smith等，1992，J.Mol.Biol 224:899-904；Wlodaver等，1992，FEBS Letters 309：59-64)。

因此，与序列1和/或2所示的氨基酸序列具有一定同源性的氨基酸序列也包括在本申请中。这些序列与本申请序列类似性/相同性典型的大于60％，优选的大于75％，更优选的大于80％，甚至更优选的大于90％，并且可以大于95％。也可以根据更特定的相同性和/或类似性范围定义本申请的优选的多核苷酸和蛋白质。例如与本申请示例的序列有49％、50％、51％、52％、53％、54％、55％、56％、57％、58％、59％、60％、61％、62％、63％、64％、65％、66％、67％、68％、69％、70％、71％、72％、73％、74％、75％、76％、77％、78％、79％、80％、81％、82％、83％、84％、85％、86％、87％、88％、89％、90％、91％、92％、93％、94％、95％、96％、97％、98％或99％的相同性和/或类似性。

本申请提供了一种控制害虫的方法，具有以下优点：
1、内因防治。现有技术主要是通过外部作用即外因来控制斜纹夜蛾害虫的危害，如农业防治、化学防治和物理防治；而本申请是通过植物体内产生能够杀死斜纹夜蛾的Vip3A蛋白来控制斜纹夜蛾害虫的，即通过内因来防治。
2、无污染、无残留。现有技术使用的化学防治方法虽然对控制斜纹夜蛾害虫的危害起到了一定作用，但同时也对人、畜和农田生态系统带来了污染、破坏和残留；使用本申请控制斜纹夜蛾害虫的方法，可以消除上述不良后果。
3、全生育期防治。现有技术使用的控制斜纹夜蛾害虫的方法都是阶段性的，而本申请是对植物进行全生育期的保护，转基因植物(Vip3A蛋白)从发芽、生长，一直到开花、结果，都可以避免遭受斜纹夜蛾的侵害。
4、全植株防治。现有技术使用的控制斜纹夜蛾害虫的方法大多是局部性的，如叶面喷施；而本申请是对整个植株进行保护，如转基因植物(Vip3A蛋白)的叶片、茎秆、雄穗、雌穗、花药、花丝、果实等都是可以抵抗斜纹夜蛾侵害的。
5、效果稳定。现有技术使用的无论是农业防治方法还是物理防治方法都需要利用环境条件对害虫进行防治，可变因素较多；本申请是使所述Vip3A蛋白在植物体内进行表达，有效地避免了环境条件不稳定的缺陷，且本申请转基因植物(Vip3A蛋白)的防治效果在不同地点、不同时间、不同遗传背景也都是稳定一致的。
6、简单、方便、经济。现有技术使用的物理防治方法在农业生产操作上具有一定的难度；本申请只需种植能够表达Vip3A蛋白的转基因植物即可，而不需要采用其它措施，从而节省了大量人力、物力和财力。
7、效果彻底。现有技术使用的控制斜纹夜蛾害虫的方法，其效果是不彻底的，只起到减轻作用；而本申请转基因植物(Vip3A蛋白)可以造成初孵斜纹夜蛾幼虫的大量死亡，且对小部分存活幼虫发育进度造成极大的抑制，3天后幼虫基本仍处于初孵状态或介于初孵-阴性对照状态之间，都是明显的发育不良，且已停止发育，转基因植物大体上只受到轻微损伤。
下面通过具体实施例进一步说明本申请控制害虫的方法的技术方案。
