Abstract excerpt
Corn genetically engineered to produce insecticidal proteins from Bacillus thuringiensis Berliner (Bacillales: Bacillaceae) (ie Bt corn) has toxicity against specific insect pests. However, field-evolved resistance to Bt crops has emerged in several species, including the European corn borer (ECB, Ostrinia nubilalis Hübner). The first case of practical resistance in ECB to Bt corn producing the Cry1F insecticidal...
