Abstract: Survivals of Plodia interpunctella larvae with MON 810 maize leaves contained feed, Cry1-resistant stocks – consist of 200 imagos – were collected in June, 2001. Larvae were feed on PIdb feed contained ~1.4 ppm (this slightly higher than the Cry1Ab toxin in fresh maize stem) truncated Bacillus thuringiensis toxin (Cry1Ab) plus maize leaves originated …
Abstract: Although the mode of action of Cry1A toxins produced by Bacillus thuringiensis is fairly well understood, knowledge of the molecular mechanisms by which lepidopteran species have evolved resistance to them is still in its infancy. The most common type of resistance has been called “Mode 1” and is characterized by recessive inheritance, >500-fold resistance …
Abstract: Ninety % of first generation GM plants evaluated in EU serve plant protection purpose. Twenty % are “insect”-resistant (Bt), 30% are “herbicide”- tolerant (glyphosate) and the further 40% are the combination of the mentioned two types. Pesticide resistance for an active ingredient used in a longer period is developed sooner or later in treated …
