Bacillus thuringiensis resistance in Plutella – too many trees? [PDF]
, 2016 Plutella xylostella was the first insect for which resistance to Bacillus thuringiensis was reported in the field, yet despite many studies on the nature of this resistance phenotype its genetic and molecular basis remains elusive. Many different factors

Effects of Bacillus thuringiensis Cry1Ab Toxin on Mammalian Cells.
Journal of Veterinary Medical Science, 2003 The Cry proteins produced by Bacillus thuringiensis are considered to be highly specific insecticidal proteins. Judged to be safe for humans and farm animals due to their insect-oriented selective toxicity, the proteins have been utilized as a biological pesticide and introduced into genetically modified plants.
