A gene that encodes a protein homologue to baculoviral IE-1 was identified and sequenced in the genome of the Choristoneura fumiferana granulovirus (ChfuGV). The gene has an 1278 nucleotide (nt) open-reading frame (ORF) that encodes 426 amino acids with an estimated molecular weight of 50.33 kDa. At the nucleotide level, several cis-acting regulatory elements were detected within the promoter region of the ie-1 gene of ChfuGV along with other studied granuloviruses (GVs). Two putative CCAAT elements were detected within the noncoding leader region of this gene; one was located on the opposite strand at -92 and the other at -420 nt from the putative start triplet. Two baculoviral late promoter motifs (TAAG) were also detected within the promoter region of the ie-1 gene of ChfuGV. A single polyadenylation signal, AATAAA, was located 18nt downstream of the putative translational stop codon of ie-1 from ChfuGV. At the protein level, the amino acid sequence data that was derived from the nucleotide sequence in ChfuGV IE-1 was compared to those of the Cydia pomonella granulovirus (CpGV), Xestia c-nigrum granulovirus (XcGV) and Plutella xylostella granulovirus (PxGV). The C-terminal regions of the granuloviral IE-1 sequences appeared to be more conserved when compared to the N-terminal regions. A domain, similar to the basic helix-loop-helix like (bHLH-like) domain in NPVs, was detected at the C-terminal region of IE-1 from ChfuGV (residues 387 to 414). A phylogenetic tree for baculoviral IE-1 was constructed using a maximum parsimony analysis. A phylogenetic estimation demonstrates that ChfuGV IE-1 is most closely related to that of CpGV.

The genes located within the p74 gene region of the Choristoneura fumiferana granulovirus (ChfuGV) were identified by sequencing an 8.9 kb BamHI restriction fragment on the ChfuGV genome. The global guanine-cytosine (GC) content of this region of the genome was 33.02%. This paper presents the ORFs within the p74 gene region along with their transcriptional orientations. This region contains a total of 15 open reading frames (ORFs). Among those, 8 ORFs were found to be homologues to the baculoviral ORFs: Cf-i-p , Cf-vi, Cf-vii, Cf-viii (ubiquitin), Cf-xi (pp31), Cf-xii (lef-11), Cf-xiii (sod) and Cf-xv-p (p74). To date, no specific function has been assigned to the ORFs: Cf-i, Cf-ii, Cf-iii, Cf-iv, Cf-v, Cf-vi, Cf-vii, Cf-ix and Cf-x. The most noticeable ORFs located in this region of the ChfuGV genome were ubiquitin, lef-11, sod, fibrillin and p74. The phylogenetic trees (constructed using conceptual products of major conserved ORFs) and gene arrangement in this region were used to further examine the classification of the members of the granulovirus genus. Comparative studies demonstrated that ChfuGV along with the Cydia pomonella granulovirus (CpGV), Phthorimaea operculella granulovirus (PhopGV), Adoxophyes orana granulovirus (AoGV) and Cryptophlebia leucotreta granulovirus (ClGV) share a high degree of amino acids sequence and gene arrangement preservation within the studied region. These results support a previous report, which classified a granuloviruses into 2 distinct groups: Group I: ChfuGV, CpGV, PhopGV and AoGV and Group II: Xestia c-nigrum granulovirus (XcGV) and Plutella xylostella granulovirus (PxGV). The phylogenetic and gene arrangement studies also placed ClGV as a novel member of the Group I granuloviruses.

The genes that are located within the odvp-6e/odv-e56 region of the Choristoneura fumiferana granulovirus (ChfuGV) were identified by sequencing the 11 kb BamHI restriction fragment on the ChfuGV genome. The global GC content that was calculated from the data obtained from this genomic region was 34.96%. The open-reading frames (ORFs), located within the odvp-6e/odv-e56 region, are presented and compared to the equivalent ORFs that are located at the same region in other GVs. This region is composed of 14 ORFs, including three ORFs that are unique to ChfuGV with no obvious homologues in other baculoviruses as well as eleven ORFs with homologues to granuloviral ORFs, such as granulin, CfORF2, pk-1, ie-1, odv-e18, p49, and odvp-6e/odv-e56. In this study, the conceptual products of seven major conserved ORFs (granulin, CfORF2, IE-1, ODV-E18, p49 and ODVP-6E/ODV-E56) were used in order to construct phylogenetic trees. Our results show that granuloviruses can be grouped in 2 distinct groups as follows: Group I; Choristoneura fumiferana granulovirus (ChfuGV), Cydia pomonella granulovirus (CpGV), Phthorimaea operculella granulovirus (PhopGV), and Adoxophyes orana granulovirus (AoGV). Group II; Xestia c-nigrum granulovirus (XcGV), Plutella xylostella granulovirus (PxGV), and Trichoplusia ni granulovirus (TnGV). The ChfuGV conserved proteins are most closely related to those of CpGV, PhopGV, and AoGV. Comparative studies, performed on gene arrangements within this region of genomes, demonstrated that three GVs from group I maintain similar gene arrangements.

곤충병원성 선충 Steinernema carpocapsae 포천 계통(ScP)과 Heterorhabditis bacteriophora함양 계통(HbH)을 이용한 밤 종실해충의 실용적인 방제를 위하여 밤나무 재배농가 에서 취하는 여러 가지 종실처리법과 관련하여 알아보았다. 수확 후의 밤 종실에는 밤바구미, 복숭아명나방, 밤애기잎말이나방 유충이 발견되었으며, 한 종실에 한 종류의 해충이 발견된 것은 58%로 밤바구미가 18%,복숭아명나방이 27.7%, 밤애기잎말이나방이 12.3%였다. 반면, 밤바구미와 복숭아명나방이 함께 발견된 종실은 3.3%, 밤바구미와 밤애기잎말이나방이 함께 발견된 종실은 5.0%,복숭아명나방과 밤애기잎말이나방이 함께 발견된 종실은 7.7%, 밤바구미와 복숭아명나방, 밤애기잎말이나방 등 3종의 해충이 함께 발견된 종실이 5.0%였다. ScP와 HbH는 모든 종류의 종 실해충에 효과가 있었고, 밤애기잎말이나방보다는 밤바구미와 복숭아명나방에 더 효과적이었다. ScP의 $LC^{50}$값은 밤바구미 유충이 14.6마리, 복숭아명나방 유충이 4.6마리, 밤애기잎말이나방 유충 이 5.6마리 였고, HbH의 LC$^{50}$ 값은 밤바구미 가 49.2마리 . 복숭아명나방이 5.8마리 , 밤애기잎말이나방 이 13.9마리였다. ScP을 pot내의 종실에 4,813마리/pot$(1\times10^{9}$마리1ha)의 농도로 처리한 것에서도 종실내의 밤바구미 유충은 85.3%,복숭아명나방 유충은 96.9%, 밤애기 잎말이나방 유충은 68.1%가 치사되었고, HbH의 처리에서는 각각 60.7%, 96.5%, 66.8%의 치사율을 보였다. 두 선충을 단독 처 리의 반수 농도로 혼합 처리하였을 때는 ScP에 의한 치사가 Hb보에 의한 치사보다 모든 농도에서 높았다. 그리고 ScP현탁액에 종실을 처리하여도 침지시간과 농도에 관계없이 종실내의 밤바구미, 복숭아명나방, 밤애기 잎말이나방 유충은 높은 비율로 치사되었다.
