Technical Field

The invention belongs to the technical field of bacillus thuringiensis, and particularly relates to a method for screening aphid-resistant Cry proteins.

Background

Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) preparations are the most successful microbial insecticides to date and have been widely used for the control of agricultural and forestry pests. The most important insecticidal active substance produced by bacillus thuringiensis is insecticidal crystal protein (Cry protein), and the coding gene of the Cry protein is widely applied to the construction of insect-resistant transgenic plants and becomes a conventional means for resisting lepidoptera and coleoptera pests. However, there are still a few important agricultural and forestry hygiene pests for which the existing bacillus thuringiensis preparations and the Cry proteins thereof have low control effects. Especially, the aphids, which are small in size, can damage a plurality of plants by means of feeding, honeydew pollution, virus transmission and the like, so that the plants can grow slowly and wilted, and various virus diseases, black mold and the like can be induced, and the plants can die when the plants are serious, so that the aphids are important agricultural and forestry pests. At present, the Cry protein with high efficiency on aphids is almost not available, and the Cry protein becomes a great problem for limiting the further great work of the Bacillus thuringiensis industry.

With the rapid progress of large-scale isolation of bacillus thuringiensis, particularly high-throughput sequencing of bacillus thuringiensis genomes in samples, large-scale discovery of novel Cry proteins has now been achieved, and one research team works for one year, which is more than the sum of novel Cry proteins globally discovered in the past three and fifty years. The field of bacillus thuringiensis has already reached the stage of needing to carry out systematic insecticidal activity determination on a large number of Cry proteins, and particularly screening aphid-resistant Cry proteins aiming at aphids becomes a great challenge.

At present, three biological assay methods for screening aphid-resistant protein aiming at aphids include a membrane vesicle method, a leaf infiltration method and a transgenic plant method. The leaf infiltration method (the method that aphids are connected to the surface of plant leaves to take food after infiltrating protein on the surface of the plant leaves), because the protein for bioassay can only be sprayed or soaked on the surface of the plant, and the feeding method of the aphids as sucking insects determines that the aphids can not effectively take the protein on the surface of the leaves; the membrane vesicle method cannot determine the amount of aphids eating the aphids; in the transgenic method, the expression quantity of the cry gene in the phloem of the plant is not well quantified, so that the quantity of aphids to eat cannot be determined. In addition, many factors such as the reproductive and survival potential of aphids and other biological characteristics need to be considered in biological measurement, and the factors are related to main environmental factors such as temperature, humidity and illumination. Therefore, the conventional methods for screening aphid-resistant Cry proteins have common drawbacks: the difference between the data measured in different laboratories greatly leads to inaccurate detection results, and large-scale screening cannot be realized due to the fact that large-scale measurement cannot be carried out.
