TL;DR: The proteomic and genomic detection of reduced levels of midgut membrane-bound alkaline phosphatase (mALP) as a common feature in strains of Cry-resistant Heliothis virescens, Helicoverpa armigera and Spodoptera frugiperda when compared to susceptible larvae is reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Field-Evolved Resistance of the Fall Armyworm (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) to Synthetic Insecticides in Puerto Rico and Mexico.
Rebeca Gutierrez-Moreno,David Mota-Sanchez,Carlos A. Blanco,Mark E. Whalon,Henry Terán-Santofimio,J. Concepción Rodríguez-Maciel,Christina D. DiFonzo +6 more
TL;DR: The status of insecticide resistance in the fall armyworm from Puerto Rico indicates a challenging situation for the control of this pest with these insecticides in the close future.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Of the 31 pests targeted and controlled by Bt crops in Latin America, only S. frugiperda has shown tolerance to certain Bt proteins in growers' fields, the most reliable indication of the status of Bt-susceptibility in most of the American continent.
Journal ArticleDOI
Susceptibility of Isofamilies of Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) to Cry1Ac and Cry1Fa Proteins of Bacillus thuringiensis

TL;DR: The susceptibility to Cry1Ac and Cry1Fa proteins of Bt in 133 isofamilies from five regions of three countries was similar to the susceptibility of two Bt-susceptible laboratory colonies to these proteins, indicating that resistance to Bt is a recessive trait.
Journal ArticleDOI

Carlos A. Blanco,José Guadalupe Pellegaud,Urbano Nava-Camberos,David Lugo-Barrera,Paulina Vega-Aquino,Jesús Coello,Antonio P. Terán-Vargas,Jesús Vargas-Camplis +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide up-to-date information on the common pests in the main maize-growing areas of Mexico from experts in the field, including the fall armyworm, corn earworm, and the black cutworm.
