Database of non-target invertebrates recorded in field experiments of genetically engineered Bt maize and corresponding non-Bt maize [PDF]
BMC Research Notes, 2022 Objectives To assess potential non-target effects of genetically engineered/modified (GM) maize that produces insecticidal proteins from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), numerous field experiments have been conducted worldwide.

Spatial and temporal distribution of Bt proteins in Bt maize leaves [PDF]
Food and Agricultural Immunology, 2021 To learn the spatial and temporal distribution of Bt proteins in Bt maize leaves, Bt protein levels of Bt maize leaves and their corresponding non-transgenic lines were detected and analysed by the ELISA method.

Development of Bt Rice and Bt Maize in China and Their Efficacy in Target Pest Control. [PDF]
Int J Mol Sci, 2016 Rice and maize are important cereal crops that serve as staple foods, feed, and industrial material in China. Multiple factors constrain the production of both crops, among which insect pests are an important one. Lepidopteran pests cause enormous yield losses for the crops annually.

Evaluation of the Control Efficacy of Bt Maize Expressing Cry1Ab and Vip3Aa Proteins Against Agrotis ypsilon (Rottemberg) [PDF]
InsectsBt maize is the main means to control many lepidopteran pests in the world, but its control efficacy against Agrotis ypsilon (Rottemberg), an important insect pest of maize seedlings, remains unclear until now.

A review of potential hazards of deliberately released Bt maize into the environment
Acta Agriculturae Slovenica, 2002 Some of the maize growers and the seed producers share great aspirations with respect to introducing transgenic maize into Slovenia. The general public opinion, however, is against it.

Life-History Traits of Spodoptera frugiperda Populations Exposed to Low-Dose Bt Maize. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Exposure to Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) toxins in low- and moderate-dose transgenic crops may induce sublethal effects and increase the rate of Bt resistance evolution, potentially compromising control efficacy against target pests.

Influence of elevated CO2 on development and food utilization of armyworm Mythimna separata fed on transgenic Bt maize infected by nitrogen-fixing bacteria [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Background Bt crops will face a new ecological risk of reduced effectiveness against target-insect pests owing to the general decrease in exogenous-toxin content in Bt crops grown under elevated carbon dioxide (CO2).

Demographic responses of Daphnia magna fed transgenic Bt-maize [PDF]
Ecotoxicology, 2009 The food/feed quality of a variety of genetically modified (GM) maize expressing Cry1Ab Bt-toxin was tested over the life-cycle of Daphnia magna, an arthropod commonly used as model organism in ecotoxicological studies.
