Journal ArticleDOI
Trends in glyphosate herbicide use in the United States and globally
TL;DR: Glyphosate will likely remain the most widely applied pesticide worldwide for years to come, and interest will grow in quantifying ecological and human health impacts, according to published global pesticide use data.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular Plant Breeding as the Foundation for 21st Century Crop Improvement
Stephen P. Moose,Rita H. Mumm +1 more
TL;DR: The fundamental discoveries of Darwin and Mendel established the scientific basis for plant breeding and genetics at the turn of the 20th century and the recent integration of advances in biotechnology, genomic research, and molecular marker applications with conventional plant breeding is being integrated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Insect pathogens as biological control agents: Back to the future.
Lawrence A. Lacey,David Grzywacz,David I. Shapiro-Ilan,Roger Frutos,M. Brownbridge,Mark S. Goettel +5 more
TL;DR: Current information on development, use and future directions of insect-specific viruses, bacteria, fungi and nematodes as components of integrated pest management strategies for control of arthropod pests of crops, forests, urban habitats, and insects of medical and veterinary importance is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bacillus thuringiensis: A story of a successful bioinsecticide
TL;DR: Recently, similar Cry-binding proteins have been identified in the three insect orders, as cadherin, aminopeptidase-N and alkaline phosphatase suggesting a conserved mode of action, suggesting a significant reduction in chemical insecticide use.
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.
