Bt Corn and Insect Resistance: An Economic Assessment of Refuges

Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, 2001
Genetically engineered crops offer farmers a new option for controlling pests. The high efficacy of these pesticidal crops, combined with the potential for widespread adoption, has raised concerns that pest resistance may prematurely diminish their value.

Susceptibilities of the Invasive Fall Armyworm (Spodopterafrugiperda) to the Insecticidal Proteins of Bt maize in China

Toxins, 2022
To control the fall armyworm (FAW), Spodoptera frugiperda (Smith), a serious threat to maize production in China, the Chinese government has issued biosafety certificates for transgenic insect-resistant maize expressing Bt (Bacillus thuringiensis) toxins

Evolutionary interplay between viruses and R‐loops

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Viruses interact with specialized nucleic acid structures called R‐loops to influence host transcription, epigenetic states, latency, and immune evasion. This Perspective examines the roles of R‐loops in viral replication, integration, and silencing, and how viruses co‐opt or avoid these structures.

Societal Costs of Late Blight in Potato and Prospects of Durable Resistance Through Cisgenic Modification [PDF]

, 2008
In the European Union almost 6 Mha of potatoes are grown representing a value of close to ¿6,000,000,000. Late blight caused by Phytophthora infestans causes annual losses (costs of control and damage) estimated at more than ¿1,000,000,000.

Circulating histones as clinical biomarkers in critically ill conditions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Circulating histones are emerging as promising biomarkers in critical illness due to their diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic potential. Detection methods such as ELISA and mass spectrometry provide reliable approaches for quantifying histone levels in plasma samples.

The Impact of Volunteer Corn on Crop Yields and Insect Resistance Management Strategies

Agronomy, 2013
Volunteer corn (VC) has reemerged as a problematic weed in corn/soybean rotational cropping systems. This reemergence and increasing prevalence of volunteer corn has been correlated to an increased adoption of herbicide-resistant (HR) corn hybrids and ...

Inheritance and Fitness Costs of Vip3Aa19 Resistance in Mythimna separata

Toxins, 2022
The “high-dose/refuge” strategy is expected to work most effectively when resistance is inherited as a functionally recessive trait and the fitness costs associated with resistance are present.

Single‐cell insights into the role of T cells in B‐cell malignancies

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Single‐cell technologies have transformed our understanding of T cell–tumor cell interactions in B‐cell malignancies, revealing new T‐cell subsets, functional states, and immune evasion mechanisms. This Review synthesizes these findings, highlighting the roles of T cells in pathogenesis, progression, and therapy response, and underscoring their ...
