The halo effect: suppression of pink bollworm on non-Bt cotton by Bt cotton in China. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 In some previously reported cases, transgenic crops producing insecticidal proteins from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) have suppressed insect pests not only in fields planted with such crops, but also regionally on host plants that do not produce Bt toxins.

Hybridizing transgenic Bt cotton with non-Bt cotton counters resistance in pink bollworm. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2017 Significance Crops genetically engineered to produce insecticidal proteins from the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) kill some major pests and reduce use of insecticide sprays. However, evolution of pest resistance to Bt proteins decreases these benefits.

Fitness of Bt-resistant cabbage loopers on Bt cotton plants. [PDF]
Plant Biotechnol J, 2017 SummaryDevelopment of resistance to the insecticidal toxins from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) in insects is the major threat to the continued success of transgenic Bt crops in agriculture. The fitness of Bt‐resistant insects on Bt and non‐Bt plants is a key parameter that determines the development of Bt resistance in insect populations.
