Abstract
Transgenic tobacco transformed with the Trichoplusia ni granulovirus enhancin gene has been demonstrated to enhance baculovirus infection in larvae. In this paper we describe the effect of the long-term feeding of lyophilized transgenic tobacco material to Pseudaletia separata and Spodoptera exigua larvae. Our results demonstrated that the baculovirus enhancin gene products have potential for use in insect pest management.
