Mechanisms of Resistance to Insecticidal Proteins from Bacillus thuringiensis

Juan Luis Jurat-Fuentes et al.

Summary: Insecticidal proteins from Bt bacterium are widely used as successful alternatives to synthetic pesticides, but the evolution of resistance in target pests remains a major threat. High-level resistance to Bt sprays is limited in the field, but several lepidopteran and coleopteran species have developed practical resistance to Bt proteins produced in transgenic plants.

Transgenic cotton and sterile insect releases synergize eradication of pink bollworm a century after it invaded the United States

Bruce E. Tabashnik et al.

Summary: The successful multi-tactic strategy described above effectively combated the invasive pink bollworm in the southwestern United States and northern Mexico by releasing sterile insects and planting transgenic Bt cotton. This approach synergistically reduced the pest population and led to significant economic and social benefits, demonstrating the advantages of using agricultural biotechnology in combination with classical pest control tactics.

Independent and Synergistic Effects of Knocking out Two ABC Transporter Genes on Resistance to Bacillus thuringiensis Toxins Cry1Ac and Cry1Fa in Diamondback Moth

Shan Zhao et al.

Summary: This study used CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing to investigate resistance to Bt toxins Cry1Ac and Cry1Fa in the diamondback moth. Knocking out both ABC transporter genes PxABCC2 and PxABCC3 resulted in extremely high resistance levels, while mutations affecting these genes individually showed lower resistance. The results highlight the value of using single and multiple gene knockouts to better understand the mechanisms behind resistance to Bt toxins.
