ABSTRACT:
Recombinant baculoviruses were prepared which contain sequences expressing peptide hormones which cause lack of feeding in Helicoverpa zea (corn earworm) and related pestw. The peptides were isolated from H. zea and identified as helicokinins. When present in sufficient amounts in the insect, weight and water loss and the eventual death of the insect occurs.
