摘要: Transgenic cotton expressing Bt ( Bacillus thuringiensis) toxins is currently cultivated on a large commercial scale in many countries, but observations have shown that it behaves variably in toxin efficacy against target insects under field conditions. Understanding of the temporal and spatial variation in efficacy and the resulting mechanisms is essential for cotton protection and production. In this review, we summarize current knowledge on variability in Bt cotton efficacy, in particular on the induced variability by environmental stresses. We also discuss the resulting mechanisms and the countermeasures for the inconsistence in efficacy in Bt cotton. It is indicated that insecticidal protein content in Bt cotton is variable with plant age, plant structure or under certain environmental stresses. Variability in Bt cotton efficacy against target insect pests is mainly attributed to the changes in Bt protein content, but physiological changes associated with the production of secondary compounds in plant tissues may also play an important role. Reduction of Bt protein content in late-season cotton could be due to the overexpression of Bt gene at earlier stages, which leads to gene regulation at post-transcription levels and consequently results in gene silencing at a later stage. Methylation of the promotor may be also involved in the declined expression of endotoxin proteins. As a part of total protein, the insecticidal protein in plant tissues changes its level through inhibited synthesis, degradation or translocation to developing plant parts, particularly under environmental stresses, thus being closely correlated to N metabolism. It can be concluded that developing new cotton varieties with more powerful resistance, applying certain plant growth regulators, enhancing intra-plant defensive capability, and maintenance of general health of the transgenic crop are important in realizing the full transgenic potential in Bt cotton.
