Resistance to Bacillus thuringiensis Mediated by an ABC Transporter Mutation Increases Susceptibility to Toxins from Other Bacteria in an Invasive Insect
Fig 3
Silencing HaABCC2 with RNAi decreased susceptibility to Cry1Ac and increased susceptibility to abamectin.
After treatment with water, dsGFP, or dsHaABCC2, larvae from the Cry1Ac-susceptible LF strain of H. armigera were given diet containing Cry1Ac or abamectin (three replicates of 24 larvae for each treatment for each diet, total n = 432 larvae). Bars show means and their standard errors. The asterisk indicates no larvae treated with dsHaABCC2 survived on diet with abamectin. For each diet type (Cry1Ac or abamectin), different letters indicate significantly different means (P < 0.05 by Duncan’s multiple range tests).
