Abstract excerpt
Insecticidal proteins from the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) are used in sprayable formulations or produced in transgenic crops as the most successful alternatives to synthetic pesticides.

To date, high-level resistance to Bt sprays has been limited to one species in the field...
