In recent years, the diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella (Lepidoptera: Yponomeutidae),
has become the most destructive insect of cruciferous plants throughout the world, and the …

Transgenic crops producing Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) toxins for insect pest control have
been successful, but their efficacy is reduced when pests evolve resistance. Here we review …

Imagine a statistics book for bioassays written by a statistician. Next, imagine a statistics
book for bioassays written for a layman. Bioassays with Arthropods, Third Edition offers the …

Pesticide resistance is an evolutionary phenomenon (Dobzhansky 1951), which cannot be
fully understood without genetic data. Genetic studies are a major tool in develo** …

Evolution of resistance by pests can reduce the benefits of crops genetically engineered to
produce insecticidal proteins from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt). Because of the widespread …

Sequences, mixtures, rotations, and mosaics are potential strategies for using more than
one pesticide to manage pest populations and for slowing the evolution of pesticide …

Transgenic crops producing Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) toxins kill some key insect pests, but
evolution of resistance by pests can reduce their efficacy. The predominant strategy for …

The susceptibility of five different field populations of the diamondback moth collected as
larvae within 15 km radius of Ottanchathiram and of the IARI 17-65 laboratory strain to …

Continued success of the most widely used biopesticide, Bacillus thuringiensis, is
threatened by development of resistance in pests. Experiments with Plutella xylostella …

Strong directional selection for insecticide resistance in agricultural systems favours an
increase in frequency of resistance allele (s). Provided that the resistance allele (s) has …
