Modeling the effects of plant-to-plant gene flow, larval behavior, and refuge size on Pest Resistance to Bt Cotton [PDF]

, 2011
Growers of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) crops often use refuges of non-Bt plants to delay pest resistance, but plant-to-plant gene flow between Bt and non-Bt crops could affect this strategy. Here we used simulation modeling to explore the consequences of

Proteomic Characterization of AS1411 Reveals ATP6AP1 as a Mediator of Triple‐Negative Breast Cancer Progression

PROTEOMICS, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Triple‐negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive subtype of breast cancer characterized by high metastatic potential, poor prognosis, and limited effective therapeutic options. In this study, we investigated the molecular mechanisms underlying the anticancer effects of the nucleolin (NCL)‐targeting DNA aptamer AS1411 using label‐free ...

Assessing the evolutionary distinctiveness of a highly threatened plant group: The urgency to preserve a unique lineage of evolution in Brazil

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Brazil's diverse flora is under several threats, with many unique lineages facing extinction, particularly in biodiverse regions like the Cerrado and campo rupestre. This study sheds light on the conservation needs of Cambessedesia (Melastomataceae), an endemic genus with 95% of its species endangered, using an approach to rank and prioritise species ...

The effects of Fe2O3 nanoparticles on physiology and insecticide activity in non-transgenic and Bt-transgenic cotton

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016
As the demands for nanotechnology and nanoparticle (NP) applications in agriculture increase, the ecological risk has drawn more attention because of the unpredictable results of interactions between NPs and transgenic crops.

Treatment of cotton with plant growth‐promoting rhizobacteria consortium alters host location and oviposition of Spodoptera exigua

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Two plant‐growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) consortia (AU8 and TX1) induced a deterrence of host plant location and oviposition behavior of Spodoptera exigua females in both susceptible and resistant cotton plants. Most of the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) increased in PGPR‐treated plants compared to untreated plants. # indicates treatments not

Fitness costs associated with Vip3Aa resistance on various hosts in Helicoverpa zea

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Significant fitness costs associated with Vip3Aa resistance in H. zea were observed across three non‐Bt hosts. Abundant non‐Bt refuges could help limit the spread of Vip3Aa resistance in H. zea in the field. Abstract BACKGROUND Transgenic crops containing Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) proteins are crucial for managing major agricultural pests such as the

Field assessment of the effects of Cry1Ac and Cry1Ac + Cry2Ab Bt cotton against pink bollworm in Pakistan

Journal of Cotton Research
Background Transgenic cotton producing toxins derived from the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) is used globally to manage insect pests, including the pink bollworm, Pectinophora gossypiella, one of the most damaging pests of cotton.

Studies on temporal-spatial expression characters of Bt protein in two transgenic hybrid cotton

浙江大学学报. 农业与生命科学版, 2016
Cotton bollworm, Helicoberpa armigera, was one of the most harmful pests in cotton-production areas all over the world. The transgenic insect resistant cotton with Bt gene from Bacillus thuringiensis was developed to control this pest in 1987.

Introduction of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) gene does not reduce potassium use efficiency of Bt transgenic cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.)

Journal of Cotton Research, 2022
Background Potassium (K) deficiency has become a common field production problem following the widespread adoption of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) transgenic cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) worldwide.
