The invention discloses application of an epidermal
protein gene SlituCP26 in prevention and treatment of prodenia litura, and relates to the technical field of
biology. The
nucleotide sequence of the SlituCP26
gene is shown as SEQ ID NO: 1, the SlituCP26
gene is highly expressed in an
indoxacarb resistant strain, dsRNA of the gene is prepared, the dsRNA is micro-injected into prodenia litura larvae, after injection, the expression level of the SlituCP26 gene is obviously reduced, the
body type of the larvae is obviously reduced, the epidermis thickness is obviously reduced, and the sensitivity to
indoxacarb is obviously improved. The invention also provides a SlituCP26 gene
promoter, and the
drug resistance of the prodenia litura can be detected through the difference in sequence after the
promoter is amplified. According to the invention, the fact that the epidermal
protein SlituCP26 gene participates in the effect of the prodenia litura on resisting insecticides and the formation process of a resistance mechanism is clear, and the epidermal
protein SlituCP26 gene has theoretical significance on the development of new insecticides.
