Cornell University entomologist Anthony Shelton finds when engineered crops containing just one Bt toxin grow near modified plants with two toxins, insects may more rapidly develop resistance to all ...

Evolution of resistance in pests can reduce the effectiveness of insecticidal proteins from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) produced by transgenic crops. We analyzed results of 77 studies from five ...

If you have moths or caterpillars bothering your garden, Bt (or Bacillus thuringiensis) is your best bet to wipe them out without harming beneficial insects. You can buy this organic pest control at ...

Research shows that the commonly used and naturally occurring bacterial insecticide Bt works best if applied to young plants and is enhanced by the presence of the insect pests. Spraying Bt -- the ...

Transgenic crops have revolutionized insect pest control, but their effectiveness has been reduced by evolution of resistance in pests. We analyzed global monitoring data reported during the first two ...

For many gardeners, the arrival of summer also means the arrival of insect pests. While most pests don’t cause significant harm to ornamental plants, certain leaf-munching insects can be quite ...

The first field test of a strategy for controlling insect resistance in a crop engineered to carry genes from the pesticide-producing bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis confirms the value of refuges in ...

The Japanese pine sawyer, Monochamus alternatus Hope (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae), is a major pest of coniferous forests. Bacillus thuringiensis Berliner (Bacillales: Bacillaceae) (Bt) is an ...

Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) is a soil bacterium which produces proteinaceous inclusion bodies during sporulation. The inclusion bodies contain genetically encoded insecticidal proteins with very ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract A synthetic cryIA(b) gene coding for an insecticidal crystal protein of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) was transferred to cabbage cultivar ...

When you look at a bag of corn seed, somewhere you’ll find information about corn refuge requirements. In many areas it’s included in the bag but for those states or varieties without the in-bag ...
