Open AccessCadherin repeat 5 mutation associated with Bt resistance in a field-derived strain of pink bollworm
Evolution of resistance by pests reduces the benefits of transgenic crops that produce insecticidal proteins from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt). Here we analyzed resistance to Bt toxin Cry1Ac in a field-derived str...

Open AccessTransposon insertion causes cadherin mis-splicing and confers resistance to Bt cotton in pink bollworm from China
Transgenic crops producing insecticidal proteins from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) are cultivated extensively, but rapid evolution of resistance by pests reduces their efficacy. We report a 3,370-bp insertion in a...
