中科院武汉病毒所日前成功地测定了中国棉铃虫病毒基因的全序列，在全国率先破译棉铃虫病毒基因。据悉，这也是世界上首例单核衣壳核型多角体病毒的全序列。棉铃虫是棉花的大敌，棉铃虫病毒基因全序列的研究，对改良棉铃虫病毒杀虫剂具有重要意义。20世纪70年代，美国科学家最 Chinese Academy of Sciences, Wuhan Institute of Virology recently successfully sequenced the full sequence of the Chinese cotton bollworm virus gene, the first in the country to decipher the cotton bollworm virus gene. It is reported that this is also the world’s first single-nucleocapsid nuclear polyhedrosis virus full sequence. Cotton bollworm is the enemy of cotton, and the full-length bollworm virus gene sequence is of great significance to improve the bollworm virus insecticide. 1970s, most scientists in the United States
