The evolution ofBacillus thuringiensis(Bt) resistance provides a useful pathway for the study of fitness trade-offs associated with stress adaptation. In a previous study, we used cDNA-amplification fragment length polymorphism (cDNA-ALFP) analysis to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in Cry1Ac-susceptible (96S) and -resistant (Bt-R)Helicoverpa armigeralarvae. Among these DEGs, a death-associated LIM-only protein (HaDALP) was identified. In the current study, the full-length cDNA encoding HaDALP was cloned using rapid amplification of cDNA ends according to an expressed sequence tag derived from the previous cDNA-ALFP analysis.HaDALPexpression patterns indicated that this gene was differentially expressed in tissues and stages and was highest in the midgut and epidermis of the 5th instar larvae. It is up-regulated in Cry1Ac-resistantH. armigeralarvae. Fitness parameters, such as larval and pupal weight, pupal duration, and survival rate, which are the most sensitive indicators, were evaluated afterHaDALPknockdown or feeding of the HaDALP proteinin vivo. Our findings suggested that up-regulation of HaDALP might be related to Cry1Ac resistance and an adaption to Bt toxins.
