Journal ArticleDOI

Field-evolved resistance to Bt maize by western corn rootworm.

Aaron J. Gassmann, +3 more
- 29 Jul 2011 - 
TL;DR: This is the first report of field-evolved resistance to a Bt toxin by the western corn rootworm and by any species of Coleoptera, and suggests that improvements in resistance management and a more integrated approach to the use of Bt crops may be necessary.
Journal ArticleDOI

Field-evolved resistance by western corn rootworm to multiple Bacillus thuringiensis toxins in transgenic maize

Aaron J. Gassmann, +6 more
- 08 Apr 2014 - 
TL;DR: It is shown that cross-resistance exists between Cry3Bb1 maize and mCry3A maize and is associated with severe injury to Bt maize in farmers’ fields, illustrating the potential of insects to develop resistance rapidly when Bt crops do not achieve a high dose of Bt toxin.
Journal ArticleDOI

Susceptibility of Nebraska Western Corn Rootworm (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) Populations to Bt Corn Events

David S. Wangila, +5 more
- 01 Apr 2015 - 
TL;DR: Proportional survival and corrected survival data coupled with field histories collectively support the conclusion that a level of field resistance to Cry3Bb1 has evolved in some Nebraska populations in response to selection pressure and that cross-resistance exists between Cry3 Bb1 and mCry3A.
Journal ArticleDOI

Western corn rootworm and Bt maize: challenges of pest resistance in the field

Aaron J. Gassmann, +3 more
- 01 Jul 2012 - 
TL;DR: Effectively dealing with the challenge of field-evolved resistance to Bt maize by western corn rootworm will require better adherence to the principles of integrated pest management.
Journal ArticleDOI

Adaptation by Western Corn Rootworm (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) to Bt Maize: Inheritance, Fitness Costs, and Feeding Preference

Jennifer L. Petzold-Maxwell, +4 more
- 15 Aug 2012 - 
TL;DR: The resistant strain developed faster and had increased survival on Bt maize relative to a susceptible strain, and results from reciprocal crosses of the resistant and susceptible strains indicated that inheritance of resistance was nonrecessive.
