Insecticidal crystal (Cry) proteins produced by the bacteriumBacillus thuringiensis(Bt) are toxic to a diverse range of insects. Transgenic rice expressing Cry1A, Cry2A and Cry1C toxins have been developed that are lethal toChilo suppressalis, a devastating insect pest of rice in China. Identifying the mechanisms underlying the interactions of Cry toxins with susceptible hosts will improve both our understanding of Cry protein toxicology and long‐term efficacy of Bt crops. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that V‐ATPase subunit A contributes to the action of Cry1Ab/1Ac, Cry2Aa and Cry1Ca toxins inC. suppressalis. The full‐lengthV‐ATPase subunit Atranscript was initially cloned from theC. suppressalislarval midgut and then used to generate double‐stranded RNA (dsRNA)‐producing bacteria. Toxicity assays using transgenic rice lines TT51 (Cry1AbandCry1Acfusion genes), T2A‐1 (Cry2Aa), and T1C‐19 (Cry1Ca) in conjunction withV‐ATPase subunit AdsRNA‐treatedC. suppressalislarvae revealed significantly reduced larval susceptibility to T2A‐1 and T1C‐19 transgenic rice, but not to TT51 rice. These results suggest that the V‐ATPase subunit A plays a crucial role in mediating Cry2Aa and Cry1Ca toxicity inC. suppressalis. These findings will have significant implications on the development of future resistance management tools.
