Transgenic crops expressing Bacillus thuringiensis toxins and biological control
Nature Biotechnology, 2006 The area devoted to growing transgenic plants expressing insecticidal Cry proteins derived from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) is increasing worldwide. A major concern with the adoption of Bt crops is their potential impact on nontarget organisms including biological control organisms. Regulatory frameworks should advocate a step-wise (tiered) approach to

Aedes cadherin receptor that mediates Bacillus thuringiensis Cry11A toxicity is essential for mosquito development. [PDF]
, 2020 Aedes cadherin (AaeCad, AAEL024535) has been characterized as a receptor for Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. israelensis (Bti) Cry11A toxins. However, its role in development is still unknown.

Redesigning Bacillus thuringiensis Cry1Aa toxin into a mosquito toxin [PDF]
Protein Engineering, Design and Selection, 2006 The Bacillus thuringiensis crystal protein Cry1Aa is normally selectively active to caterpillar larvae. Through rational design, toxicity (microg/ml) to the mosquito Culex pipiens was introduced by selected deletions and substitutions of the loop residues of domain II. Toxicity to its natural target Manduca sexta was concomitantly abolished.
