TL;DR: In computer simulations of conditions in northern China, where millions of farmers grow Bt cotton as well as abundant non‐transgenic host plants of H. armigera, pyramided cotton combining a Bt toxin and RNAi substantially delayed resistance relative to using Btotton alone.

TL;DR: Evidence is reported from seven resistant strains of three major crop pests showing that Cry1Ab and Cry1Ac protoxins were generally more potent than the corresponding activated toxins.

TL;DR: Results indicate that a switch to three‐toxin pyramided cotton could be valuable for increasing durability of Bt cotton in China and that redundant killing on this pyramid was incomplete.

TL;DR: Evidence of epistasis conferring resistance to Cry1Ac in the cotton bollworm, Helicoverpa armigera, one of the world's most devastating crop pests is reported, and has important implications for interpreting results of the F1 screen used widely to monitor and analyze resistance, as well as the potential to accelerate evolution of resistance.

TL;DR: In this article , a phage displayed single domain antibody screening from human domain antibody library targeted on Spodoptera frugiperda 9 (Sf9) cells expressed Cry1Ac toxin receptor, ATP-dependent binding cassette transporter C2 in P. xylostella (PxABCC2).
