  • Title: Modified Bacillus thuringiensis toxins and a hybrid B. thuringiensis strain counter greenhouse-selected resistance in Trichoplusia ni.
    Author: Franklin MT, Nieman CL, Janmaat AF, Soberón M, Bravo A, Tabashnik BE, Myers JH.
    Journal: Appl Environ Microbiol; 2009 Sep; 75(17):5739-41. PubMed ID: 19592525.
    Abstract:
    Resistance of greenhouse-selected strains of the cabbage looper, Trichoplusia ni, to Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki was countered by a hybrid strain of B. thuringiensis and genetically modified toxins Cry1AbMod and Cry1AcMod, which lack helix alpha-1. Resistance to Cry1AbMod and Cry1AcMod was >100-fold less than resistance to native toxins Cry1Ab and Cry1Ac.
