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 …

Bacillus thuringiensis bacteria are insect pathogens that produce different Cry and Cyt toxins
to kill their hosts. Here we review the group of three-domain Cry (3d-Cry) toxins. Expression …

The Cry1F protein from Bacillus thuringiensis Berliner expressed in event TC1507 maize
(Zea mays L.) was one of the most effective ways to control Spodoptera frugiperda (JE …

During the past decade the pesticidal bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis has been the subject
of intensive research. These efforts have yielded considerable data about the complex …

Plants may also be resistant to arthropods via the tolerance category of resistance, as
defined in Chapter 1, by possessing the ability to withstand or recover from damage caused …

▪ Abstract Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) is a valuable source of insecticidal proteins for use in
conventional sprayable formulations and in transgenic crops, and it is the most promising …

Plants are attacked by a broad array of herbivores and pathogens. In response, plants
deploy an arsenal of defensive traits. In Brassicaceae, the glucosinolate–myrosinase …

Transgenic crops producing insecticidal toxins from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) are
commercially successful in reducing pest damage, yet knowledge of resistance mechanisms …

Despite numerous future promises, there is a multitude of concerns about the impact of GM
crops on the environment. Key issues in the environmental assessment of GM crops are …

Ongoing host–pathogen interactions can trigger a coevolutionary arms race, while genetic
diversity within the host can facilitate its adaptation to pathogens. Here, we used the …
