Novel RNA Viruses from the Transcriptome of Pheromone Glands in the Pink Bollworm Moth, Pectinophora gossypiella [PDF]
Insects, 2021 In this study, we analyzed the transcriptome obtained from the pheromone gland isolated from two Israeli populations of the pink bollworm Pectinophora gossypiella to identify viral sequences.

Degree day-based model predicts pink bollworm phenology across geographical locations of subtropics and semi-arid tropics of India [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 There is a global concern about the effects of climate change driven shifts in species phenology on crop pests. Using geographically and temporally extensive data set of moth trap catches and temperatures across the cotton growing states of India, we ...

Genome-wide analysis reveals distinct global populations of pink bollworm (Pectinophora gossypiella) [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2023 The pink bollworm (Pectinophora gossypiella) is one of the world’s most destructive pests of cotton. This invasive lepidopteran occurs in nearly all cotton-growing countries. Its presence in the Ord Valley of North West Australia poses a potential threat

Molecular Genetic Basis of Lab- and Field-Selected Bt Resistance in Pink Bollworm [PDF]
Insects, 2023 Transgenic crops producing insecticidal proteins from the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) control some important insect pests. However, evolution of resistance by pests reduces the efficacy of Bt crops. Here we review resistance to Bt cotton in the

Mutation in the Cadherin Gene Is a Key Factor for Pink Bollworm Resistance to Bt Cotton in China [PDF]
Toxins, 2022 Transgenic crops producing Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) toxins are widely planted for insect control, but their efficacy may decrease as insects evolve resistance.

Diminishing returns from increased percent Bt cotton: the case of pink bollworm. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Regional suppression of pests by transgenic crops producing insecticidal proteins from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) has been reported in several cropping systems, but little is known about the functional relationship between the ultimate 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.
