Three Decades of China's Bt Cotton: Achievements and Insights
Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Cotton is a vital natural fibre crop with significant economic value worldwide. In response to the threat of cotton bollworm (Helicoverpa armigera), the China government initiated a research project in 1992 to develop transgenic Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) cotton.

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Fall armyworm (FAW) (Spodoptera frugiperda J. E. Smith) has emerged as a serious pest since 2016 in Africa, affecting the food security and livelihoods of millions of smallholder farmers, especially those growing maize. Native genetic resistance to FAW is essential for reducing yield loss.

Why raw yield data are better than relative yield in informing agronomic and economic decisions
Agricultural &Environmental Letters, Volume 11, Issue 1, June 2026.Abstract While relative yield is widely used for its comparability, normalization can cause significant information loss. This study reframes yield metric selection as a model evaluation problem to determine the most accurate representation of crop response. We evaluated seven yield metrics with three agronomic models, comparing estimates of a critical
