Genomic Analysis of Resistance to Fall Armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) in CIMMYT Maize Lines

Isaac Kamweru et al.

Summary: The study reveals the genetic basis of resistance to the fall armyworm in maize. It shows that leaf damage scores have moderate heritability and are negatively correlated with grain yield. The genome-wide association study identifies several candidate genes associated with resistance.

Performance of Bt-susceptible and -heterozygous dual-gene resistant genotypes ofSpodoptera frugiperda(JE Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) in seed blends of non-Bt and pyramided Bt maize

Marcelo Dimase et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that a seed blend refuge strategy in the U.S. Corn Belt plays a positive role in managing Bt-resistant S. frugiperda and plant injury. Both Bt-susceptible and heterozygous dual-gene resistant genotypes of the pest perform similarly in different planting patterns under the seed blend refuge strategy.

Managing the Invasive Fall Armyworm through Biotech Crops: A Chinese Perspective

Yunhe Li et al.

Summary: The highly destructive fall armyworm was first detected in China in late 2018, posing a major economic threat to corn production. This article reviews control strategies and discusses the prospects of managing this pest with Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) corn in China.

The impact of using genetically modified (GM) corn/maize in Vietnam: Results of the first farm-level survey

Graham Brookes et al.

Summary: The study found that the use of genetically modified corn in Vietnam led to increased yields and reduced production costs compared to conventional varieties. Farmers gained higher profits from GM corn relative to conventional seeds, while also experiencing environmental benefits with reduced pesticide and herbicide use.

Factors Influencing Genomic Prediction Accuracies of Tropical Maize Resistance to Fall Armyworm and Weevils

Arfang Badji et al.

Summary: Research explored the prediction of maize resistance to insects in a tropical maize panel using 16 GP algorithms. Results showed that the size of TS and its relationship with BS affected the PA values for MW resistance, while the design of RBTS and PBTS also had an impact on PA values for FAW resistance.

Fall armyworm invasion heightens pesticide expenditure among Chinese smallholder farmers

Xianming Yang et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates how the invasion of fall armyworm has changed pest management practices in maize crops in Yunnan, China, increasing farmers' reliance on pesticides and potentially impacting household budgets. Sustainable pest management strategies are urgently needed for smallholder maize systems in China and other areas invaded by fall armyworm.

A new generation of Bt maize for control of fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda)

Renato J. Horikoshi et al.

Summary: The research showed that MON 95379, expressing Cry1B.868 and Cry1Da_7 proteins, effectively protected maize plants against feeding damage by fall armyworm, providing a potential alternative for managing resistance issues in South America.

Case study on the first immigration of fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda invading into China

Sun Xiao-xu et al.

Summary: The study confirmed the first immigration of Fall Armyworm (FAW) into China, with the early immigrant population being of the corn strain and mainly colonizing corn in Pu'er, Dehong, and Baoshan areas in Yunnan province. Migration trajectory simulation suggested that the moths might have mainly come from the eastern area in the mid-latitude region of Myanmar.

Facing Bt toxins growing up: Developmental changes of susceptibility to Bt corn hybrids in fall armyworm populations and the implications for resistance management

Clebson S. Tavares et al.

Summary: The study highlights the importance of developmental changes in target-pest susceptibility to Bt toxins for resistance management in Bt crops. Results show that Cry1F resistance reduces susceptibility to Cry1A.105 + Cry2Ab toxins, while Vip3Aa has the potential to control Bt-toxin-resistant fall armyworm populations.

Managing Fall Armyworm in Africa: Can Bt Maize Sustainably Improve Control?

Johnnie Van den Berg et al.

Summary: The recent invasion of Africa by fall armyworm has raised concerns about food security, and genetically engineered maize could be a useful tool for controlling pests. However, practical resistance to Bt maize has been observed in the Americas. Stakeholders in Africa will make decisions about deploying Bt maize, and it is recommended to use non-Bt maize refuges to control fall armyworm.

Economic and ecosystem impacts of GM maize in South Africa

Kristiina Ala-Kokko et al.

Summary: White maize in South Africa is the only staple crop produced on a widespread commercial basis for direct human consumption using genetically modified cultivars. The total welfare benefits attributable to GM white maize in South Africa for 2001-2018 are estimated to be $694.7 million. Food security benefits are also seen through additional white maize rations annually.
