Journal ArticleDOI

Insect resistance to Bt crops: lessons from the first billion acres

TL;DR: Field outcomes support theoretical predictions that factors delaying resistance include recessive inheritance of resistance, low initial frequency of resistance alleles, abundant refuges of non-Bt host plants and two-toxin Bt crops deployed separately from one-t toxin BT crops.
Journal ArticleDOI

Potential shortfall of pyramided transgenic cotton for insect resistance management

TL;DR: Analysis of results from 21 selection experiments with eight species of lepidopteran pests indicates that some cross-resistance typically occurs between Cry1A and Cry2A toxins, and incorporation of empirical data into simulation models shows that the observed deviations from ideal conditions could greatly reduce the benefits of the pyramid strategy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Occurrence, biology, natural enemies and management of Tuta absoluta in Africa

TL;DR: The South American tomato pinworm, Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae), is a devastating invasive pest of tomato crops in several areas around the world including Africa.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ecological specialization of the aphid Aphis gossypii Glover on cultivated host plants.

TL;DR: Both genetic and experimental data suggested that plants of the genus Hibiscus may be used as refuge for the specialized clones of A. gossypii, suggesting the existence of host‐associated trade‐offs.
