AaHIT seems to be a promising candidate in pest control, e.g. cotton bollworm larvae can be reduced 44-98% by creating transgenic cotton crops which express the AaHIT gene. Another example in which AaHIT can be used as an<unk> icide is via baculoviruses. Baculoviruses are themselves<unk> -specific viruses; they can be potentiated if they express the AaHIT gene. The potentiated viruses kill the<unk> s faster, resulting in less damage to the crops.
