Cotton bollworm eggs were purchased from Baiyun Industry Co., Ltd. (Jiyuan, China). Larvae were fed an artificial diet as previously described [35], and reared in a versatile environmental test chamber (SANYO, MLR-350HT) at 28 °C with 70% relative humidity under a 14-h light/10-h dark photoperiod. Larvae were fed individually in 24-well plates. Cotton plants were grown in a greenhouse for further research.
