With the wide cultivation of transgenic plants throughout the world and the rising risk of resistance toBacillus thuringiensiscrystal (Cry) toxins, it is essential to design an adaptive resistance management strategy for continued use. Neuropeptide F (NPF) of insects has proven to be valuable for the production of novel‐type transgenic plants via its important role in the control of feeding behavior. In this study, the gene encoding NPF was cloned from the diamondback moth,Plutella xylostella, an important agricultural pest. Real‐time quantitative reverse transcription‐polymerase chain reaction and in situ hybridization showed a relatively high expression ofP. xylostella‐npf(P. x‐npf) in endocrine cells of the midgut of fourth instar larvae, and it was found to participate inP. xylostellafeeding behavior and Cry1Ac‐induced feeding inhibition. Prokaryotic expression and purification provided structure unfoldedP. x‐npffrom inclusion bodies for diet surface overlay bioassays and the results demonstrated a significant synergistic effect ofP. x‐npfon Cry1Ac toxicity by increasing intake of noxious food which contains Cry toxins, especially quick death at an early stage of feeding. Our findings provided a potential new way to efficiently control pests by increasing intake of lower dose Cry toxins and a novel hint for the complex Cry toxin mechanism.
