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 …

The fall armyworm (FAW), Spodoptera frugiperda (JE Smith), is native to the Americas. It has
rapidly invaded 47 African countries and 18 Asian countries since the first detection of …

The vegetative insecticidal protein Vip3Aa from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) has been
produced by transgenic crops to counter pest resistance to the widely used crystalline (Cry) …

Transgenic crops producing insecticidal proteins from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) have
revolutionized control of some major pests. However, more than 25 cases of field-evolved …

Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) bacterium is found in various ecological habitats, and has natural
entomo-pesticidal properties, due to the production of crystalline and soluble proteins during …

Entomopathogenic bacteria produce insecticidal proteins that accumulate in inclusion
bodies or parasporal crystals (such as the Cry and Cyt proteins) as well as insecticidal …

Microbially derived, protein-based biopesticides offer a more sustainable pest management
alternative to synthetic pesticides. Vegetative insecticidal proteins (Vip3), multidomain …

Bacillus thuringiensis Vip3 (V egetative I nsecticidal P rotein 3) toxins are widely used in
biotech crops to control Lepidopteran pests. These proteins are produced as inactive …

Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) is a Gram positive soil bacterium. This bacterium secretes various
proteins during different growth phases with an insecticidal potential against many …

The vegetative insecticidal proteins (Vip), secreted by many Bacillus thuringiensis strains
during their vegetative growth stage, are genetically distinct from known insecticidal crystal …
