Abstract excerpt
Transgenic crops producing insecticidal proteins from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) have revolutionized pest control. However, the evolution of resistance by target pests poses a significant threat to the long-term success of Bt crops. Understanding the genetics and mechanisms underlying Bt resistance is crucial for developing resistance detection methods and management tactics. The T92C mutation in a tetraspanin...
