Journal ArticleDOI
Pattern recognition proteins in Manduca sexta plasma.
TL;DR: Four classes of pattern recognition proteins, hemolin, peptidoglycan recognition protein, beta-1,3-glucan recognition proteins and immulectins (C-type lectins) involved in immune responses of the tobacco hornworm, Manduca sexta are described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Suppressing resistance to Bt cotton with sterile insect releases.
Bruce E. Tabashnik,Mark S. Sisterson,Peter C. Ellsworth,Timothy J. Dennehy,Timothy J. Dennehy,Larry Antilla,Leighton Liesner,Mike Whitlow,Robert T. Staten,Jeffrey A. Fabrick,Gopalan C. Unnithan,Alex J. Yelich,Christa Ellers-Kirk,Virginia S. Harpold,Xianchun Li,Yves Carrière +15 more
TL;DR: Computer simulations show that this approach works in principle against pests with recessive or dominant inheritance of resistance, and during a large-scale, four-year field deployment of this strategy in Arizona, resistance of pink bollworm to Bt cotton did not increase.
Journal ArticleDOI
Can Pyramids and Seed Mixtures Delay Resistance to Bt Crops
TL;DR: It is concluded that conditions often deviate from those favoring the success of pyramids and seed mixtures, particularly against pests with low inherent susceptibility to Bt toxins, and promising approaches include using larger refuges and integrating Bt crops with other pest management tactics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Alternative splicing and highly variable cadherin transcripts associated with field-evolved resistance of pink bollworm to bt cotton in India.
Jeffrey A. Fabrick,Jeyakumar Ponnuraj,Amar Singh,R. K. Tanwar,Gopalan C. Unnithan,Alex J. Yelich,Xianchun Li,Yves Carrière,Bruce E. Tabashnik +8 more
TL;DR: DNA sequencing of pink bollworm derived from resistant and susceptible field populations in India revealed eight novel, severely disrupted cadherin alleles associated with resistance to Cry1Ac, the first example of alternative splicing associated with field-evolved resistance that reduced the efficacy of a Bt crop.
Journal ArticleDOI
A novel Tenebrio molitor cadherin is a functional receptor for Bacillus thuringiensis Cry3Aa toxin.
Jeffrey A. Fabrick,Chris Oppert,Marcé D. Lorenzen,Kaley Morris,Brenda Oppert,Juan Luis Jurat-Fuentes +5 more
TL;DR: The functional role of TmCad1 as a Cry3Aa receptor in T. molitor larvae is demonstrated and similarities between the mode of action of Cry toxins in Lepidoptera and Coleoptera are revealed.
