Transcriptome of Cydia pomonella granulovirus in susceptible and type I resistant codling moth larvae.

ABSTRACT: The baculovirus Cydia pomonella granulovirus (CpGV) is a biocontrol agent used worldwide against the codling moth (CM), Cydia pomonella L., a severe pest in organic and integrated pome fruit production. Its successful application is increasingly challenged by the occurrence of CM populations resistant to commercial CpGV products. Whereas three types (I-III) of CpGV resistance have been identified, type I resistance compromising the efficacy of CpGV-M, the so-called Mexican isolate of CpGV, is assumed to be the most widely distributed resistance type in Central Europe. Despite the wide use of CpGV products as biocontrol agents, little information is available on gene-expression levels in CM larvae. In this study, the in vivo transcriptome of CpGV-M infecting susceptible (CpS)
