Alternative splicing and highly variable cadherin transcripts associated with field-evolved resistance of pink bollworm to bt cotton in India. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Evolution of resistance by insect pests can reduce the benefits of insecticidal proteins from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) that are used extensively in sprays and transgenic crops.

Natural enemies delay insect resistance to Bt crops.
PLoS ONE, 2014 We investigated whether development of resistance to a Bt crop in the presence of a natural enemy would be slower than without the natural enemy and whether biological control, in conjunction with a Bt crop, could effectively suppress the pest population.

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.

Multi-Scale Bionic Structure Constructs Biomass Flame-Retardant Thermal Insulation Foam Material. [PDF]
Adv Sci (Weinh)Inspired by mussel adhesion and hierarchical brick‐and‐mortar architectures, a cellulose‐based biomimetic foam is constructed by anchoring bentonite nanosheets onto a polydopamine‐decorated cellulose nanofiber network. The resulting foam combines low thermal conductivity with intrinsic flame retardancy and full biodegradability, presenting a ...

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.

Effects of previous infestation with Bemisia tabaci MEAM1 on the resistance to Chrysodeixis includens in Bt and non-Bt soybean plants [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2023 Transgenic Bt soybean plants have been developed to control insect pests, such as Anticarsia gemmatalis and Chrysodeixis includens. This objective has been achieved successfully; however, recently, some authors claimed that Bt soybean plants have been ...

Fitness cost of resistance to Bt cotton linked with increased gossypol content in pink bollworm larvae. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Fitness costs of resistance to Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) crops occur in the absence of Bt toxins, when individuals with resistance alleles are less fit than individuals without resistance alleles. As costs of Bt resistance are common, refuges of non-Bt
