The response of the Asian gypsy moth Lymantria dispar (L.) (Lepidoptera: Lymantriidae) to a fusion gene consisting of the spider, Atrax robustus Simon (Araneae: Hexanthelidae) ω-ACTXAr1 sequence coding for an ω-atracotoxin and a sequence coding for the Bt-toxin C-peptide, expressed in transgenic poplar Populus simonii x P. nigra L. (Malphigiales: Salicaceae) was investigated. The results suggest that transgenic poplar is resistant to L. dispar, and that the mature L. dispar may be weakened by the transgenic plants due to Bt protoxins activated by elevated midgut proteinase activity. The transgenic poplar expressing fusion protein genes of Bt and a spider insecticidal peptide are good candidates for managing the gypsy moth.

About the Journal
The Journal of Insect Science is an international, open access, peer-reviewed journal publishing papers in all aspects of the biology of insects and other arthropods from the molecular to the ecological, and their agricultural and medical impact. Published online by the University of Wisconsin Libraries, it is freely available to individuals and institutions, and provides a viable alternative to excessively priced scientific journals.
