Embodiment 1

[0223] The generation of embodiment 1.OX5403 fall armyworm

[0224] Plasmid pOX5403 ( figure 1 ) is based on the cloning vector pKC26-FB2 (Genbank #HQ998855). The plasmid backbone contains the pUC origin of replication and the β-lactamase gene that confers ampicillin resistance and is used in molecular cloning procedures. This plasmid portion is not contained in the rDNA or integrated into the insect genome.

[0225] pOX5403 also contains the complete rDNA incorporated into insects, including the synthetic DNA sequence encoding the DsRed2 red fluorescent marker protein (Clontech), the synthetic DNA sequence of the tetracycline-repressible transcriptional activator tTAV (based on the transcriptional activator from Escherichia coli and HSV-1 VP16 sequence fusion), and a modified Sfdsx splicing module derived from Spodoptera frugiperda. figure 2 The components shown in are detailed in Table 1. Plasmids were prepared by using conventional DNA cloning procedures.

[0235] The generation of embodiment 2.OX5368 fall armyworm

[0236] Plasmid pOX5368 ( Figure 4 ) is based on the cloning vector pKC26-FB2 (Genbank #HQ998855). The plasmid backbone contains the pUC origin of replication and the β-lactamase gene that confers ampicillin resistance, which was used in molecular cloning procedures. This plasmid portion is not contained in the rDNA or integrated into the insect genome.

[0237] Plasmid pOX5368 also contains the complete rDNA incorporated into the insect, including the synthetic DNA sequence encoding the DsRed2 red fluorescent marker protein, the synthetic DNA sequence of the tetracycline repressible transcriptional activator tTAV2 (based on a fusion of sequences from the Escherichia coli and HSV-1 VP16 transcriptional activator) , with a modified Sfdsx splicing module derived from Spodoptera frugiperda. Figure 5 The components shown in are detailed in Table 2. Plasmids were prepared using conventional DNA cloning methods.

[0243] Example 3. Generation of OX5382 Spodoptera frugiperda

[0244] Plasmid pOX5382 ( Figure 7 ) based on the cloning vector pKC26-FB2 (Genbank #HQ998855). The plasmid backbone contains the pUC origin of replication and the β-lactamase gene that confers ampicillin resistance and can be used in molecular cloning procedures. This plasmid portion is not contained in the rDNA or integrated into the insect genome.

[0245] pOX5382 also contains the complete rDNA incorporated into insects, including the synthetic DNA sequence encoding the DsRed2 red fluorescent marker protein, the synthetic DNA sequence of the tetracycline-repressible transcriptional activator tTAV (based on the fusion of sequences from Escherichia coli and the HSV-1 VP16 transcriptional activator ), and a modified Sfdsx splicing module derived from Spodoptera frugiperda. Figure 8 The components shown are detailed in Table 3. Plasmids were prepared by Oxitec Ltd using conventional DNA cloning procedures.

Abstract

The invention provides a Noctuid dsx splice cassette for expression of a gene of interest on a sex- specific basis, gene expression systems for imparting a self-limiting trait to transformed Noctuidae, as well as transgenic Noctuidae and methods of suppressing populations of Noctuidae and reducing, inhibiting or eliminating crop damage caused by the Noctuid insects.
