Abstract excerpt
Retrotransposon-mediated disruption of the BtR-4 gene encoding the Heliothis virescens cadherin-like protein (HevCaLP) is linked to high levels of resistance in the YHD2 strain to Cry1Ac toxin from Bacillus thuringiensis. This suggests that HevCaLP functions as a Cry1Ac toxin receptor on the surf...
