Researchers identify new pathway of resistance to one of the three insect-repelling proteins used in Bt cotton
Nearly 30 years ago, Australia's first genetically modified field crop was planted: Bt cotton. CSIRO scientists helped develop this insect-resistant cotton variety, using a gene derived from a soil ...
Moths behave like Darwin's finches - The oviposition behaviour of insect pests results in an improved durability of insect resistance in so-called Bt-crops, while promoting the survival of pest ...
Figure 1: Computer simulations of effects of sterile moth releases on evolution of resistance to Bt cotton. Figure 2: Pink bollworm resistance allele frequency (with 95% confidence intervals) in ...
Kansas cotton fields are entering the critical squaring phase, so Kansas State University agronomist Logan Simon and entomologist Anthony Zukoff say timely scouting will be essential to protect yield ...
