Abstract

Aphidicidal activity of Bacillus thurigiensis crystal proteins was recently reported. However, relatively higher dose of crystal protein was needed to kill aphids. In this study, we intended to improve the aphidicidal activity of crystal protein by fusion with coat protein (CP) of potato leafroll virus (PLRV) which is transmitted by aphids. (omitted)
