TL;DR: The isolation and characterization of a 35 kDa crystal protein from Bacillus thuringiensis, designated TIC807, is reported, which causes reduced mass gain and mortality of L. hesperus and L. lineolaris nymphs when presented in an artificial diet feeding assay.

TL;DR: The authors optimize the insecticidal activity of a Bacillus thuringiensis crystal protein and produce transgenic plants that are resistant to feeding damage by Lygusspecies.

TL;DR: The level of efficacy demonstrated here suggests that MON 88702, when incorporated into existing IPM programs, could become a valuable additional tool for management of Lygus and thrips in cotton agroecosystems experiencing challenges of resistance to existing chemical control strategies.

TL;DR: An amendment to this paper has been published and can be accessed via a link at the top of the paper.

TL;DR: In this article, a transgenic Gossypium hirsutum event MON 88702, plants, plant cells, seeds, plant parts, progeny plants, and commodity products comprising polynucleotides were provided.
