          Abstract

          Resumen: Las plantas transgénicas con genes de Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) que codifican para la producción de toxinas, eficaces contra algunas plagas, son consideradas útiles dentro del manejo de insectos. Sin embargo, estas variedades no controlan satisfactoriamente a todos los noctuidos plagas y, además, inducen a su resistencia. Se evaluaron diversas poblaciones de variantes locales de Heliothis virescens, Helicoverpa zea, Spodoptera frugiperda y S. sunia para conocer su susceptibilidad a la toxina Cry1Ac de la variedad Bollgard® sembrada en Colombia. El Cry1Ac, se obtuvo de un gene de Bt clonado en Escherichia coli y de MVP® (protoxina encapsulada en Pseudomonas). Se expusieron larvas neonatas a dosis seriadas incorporadas a dieta merídica y, también, alimentadas con tejido fresco de algodón transgénico. Se determinó el peso de larvas y pupas sobrevivientes y la emergencia de los adultos. Los resultados, se sometieron a ANAVA y las concentraciones letales (CL) se obtuvieron mediante análisis Probit. Se encontró una aceptable susceptibilidad de H. virescens, CL50 de 3,52 y 3,81 mg/mL, en los periodos 2005A y 2006A respectivamente, y un 100% de mortalidad al alimentar las neonatas con hojas terminales. La CL 50 para H. zea varió entre 3,42 y 6,12 mg/mL; a medida que aumentaba la dosis de la toxina disminuía el peso y se obtuvo un alto porcentaje de pupas deformes. Para Spodoptera spp., las CL50 oscilaban entre 192 y 1.178 mg/mL mostrando su resistencia a la toxina. Se concluye que actualmente el algodón transgénico proporciona un control satisfactorio de los Heliothine pero no del complejo Spodoptera.

          Abstract: Transgenic plants possessing genes of the bacteria Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) which codify for toxin production effective against some pests, are considered useful within the management of insects. However, these commercial cultivars do not control satisfactorily all noctuids, and besides, at a distance, induce resistance. Diverse populations of native Heliothis virescens, Helicoverpa zea, Spodoptera frugiperda and S. sunia strains were evaluated to determine the susceptibility to the toxin Cry1Ac of the cultivar Bollgard®, planted in Colombia . Cry1Ac was obtained from a Bt gene cloned in Escherichia coli and from MVP® (protoxin encapsulated in Pseudomonas). Neonate larvae were exposed to seriated dose of the toxin, incorporated within meridic diet and also fed with fresh transgenic cotton tissue. Weight and adult emergency of the survivors were determined. Results were submitted to an Anova and LC was obtained by Probit analysis. An acceptable susceptibility of H. virescens, LC50 of 3.52 and 3.81 mg/mL, 2005A y 2006A, respectively, and a 100% mortality when feeding neonates with terminal leaves was found. LC50 for H. zea varied from 3.42 to 6.12 mg/mL; as the toxin dose increased, the pupal weight decreased and a high percentage of deformed pupae were observed. For Spodoptera spp., LC50 oscilated between 192 y 1.178 mg/mL, showing its resistance to the toxin. It was concluded that, at the moment, the transgenic cotton provides satisfactory control of the Heliothine, but no of the Spodoptera complex.

          Vip3A, a novel Bacillus thuringiensis vegetative insecticidal protein with a wide spectrum of activities against lepidopteran insects.

          A novel vegetative insecticidal gene, vip3A(a), whose gene product shows activity against lepidopteran insect larvae including black cutworm (Agrotis ipsilon), fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda), beet armyworm (Spodoptera exigua), tobacco budworm (Heliothis virescens), and corn earworm (Helicoverpa zea) has been isolated from Bacillus thuringiensis strain AB88. VIP3-insecticidal gene homologues have been detected in approximately 15% of Bacillus strains analyzed. The sequence of the vip3A(b) gene, a homologue of vip3A(a) isolated from B. thuringiensis strain AB424 is also reported. Vip3A(a) and (b) proteins confer upon Escherichia coli insecticidal activity against the lepidopteran insect larvae mentioned above. The sequence of the gene predicts a 791-amino acid (88.5 kDa) protein that contains no homology with known proteins. Vip3A insecticidal proteins are secreted without N-terminal processing. Unlike the B. thuringiensis 5-endotoxins, whose expression is restricted to sporulation, Vip3A insecticidal proteins are expressed in the vegetative stage of growth starting at mid-log phase as well as during sporulation. Vip3A represents a novel class of proteins insecticidal to lepidopteran insect larvae.

            Insect resistance to transgenic Bt crops: lessons from the laboratory and field.

            Transgenic crops that produce insecticidal toxins from the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) grew on >62 million ha worldwide from 1996 to 2002. Despite expectations that pests would rapidly evolve resistance to such Bt crops, increases in the frequency of resistance caused by exposure to Bt crops in the field have not yet been documented. In laboratory and greenhouse tests, however, at least seven resistant laboratory strains of three pests (Plutella xylostella [L.], Pectinophora gossypiella [Saunders], and Helicoverpa armigera [Hübner]) have completed development on Bt crops. In contrast, several other laboratory strains with 70- to 10,100-fold resistance to Bt toxins in diet did not survive on Bt crops. Monitoring of field populations in regions with high adoption of Bt crops has not yet detected increases in resistance frequency. Resistance monitoring examples include Ostrinia nubilalis (Hübner) in the United States (6 yr), P. gossypiella in Arizona (5 yr), H. armigera in northern China (3 yr), and Helicoverpa zea (Boddie) in North Carolina (2 yr). Key factors delaying resistance to Bt crops are probably refuges of non-Bt host plants that enable survival of susceptible pests, low initial resistance allele frequencies, recessive inheritance of resistance to Bt crops, costs associated with resistance that reduce fitness of resistant individuals relative to susceptible individuals on non-Bt hosts ("fitness costs"), and disadvantages suffered by resistant strains on Bt hosts relative to their performance on non-Bt hosts ("incomplete resistance"). The relative importance of these factors varies among pest-Bt crop systems, and violations of key assumptions of the refuge strategy (low resistance allele frequency and recessive inheritance) may occur in some cases. The success of Bt crops exceeds expectations of many, but does not preclude resistance problems in the future.

              Insect Resistance to the Biological Insecticide Bacillus thuringiensis.

              Resistance to the spore-crystal protein complex of Bacillus thuringiensis, the most widely used and intensively studied microbial insecticide, has been presumed to be unlikely to occur. In this study it was found that Plodia interpunctella, a major lepidopteran pest of stored grain products, can develop resistance to the insecticide within a few generations. Resistance increased nearly 30-fold in two generations in a strain reared on diet treated with Bacillus thuringiensis and after 15 generations reached a plateau 100 times higher than the control level. Resistance was stable when selection was discontinued. The resistance was inherited as a recessive trait. Plodia interpunctella strains collected from treated grain bins were more resistant than strains from untreated bins, indicating that the resistance can develop quickly in the field.
