The Bacillus thuringiensis vegetative insecticidal protein, Vip3A, represents a new family of Bt toxin and is currently applied to commercial transgenic cotton. To determine whether the Cry1Ac-resistant Helicoverpa armigera is cross-resistant to Vip3Aa protein, insecticidal activities, proteolytic a...

The genus Adelphocoris (Hemiptera: Miridae) is a group of key insect pests in cotton fields in China that includes three dominant species: A. suturalis (Jakovlev), A. lineolatus (Goeze) and A. fasciaticollis (Reuter). Previous field surveys have found that adults of these Adelphocoris species usuall...

Cry1Ai-h-loop 2 is a mutant of Cry1Ai constructed by exchanging loop 2 from Cry1Ah protein and shows insecticidal activity against Helicoverpa armigera. The toxicity of Cry1Ai-h-loop 2, in contrast to the very low toxicity of Cry1Ai, is closely associated with the eleven residues in the loop 2 regio...

Carbohydrate chains are the principal antigens by which Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) identify receptor proteins. The interaction between the antigen and Bt causes a pore in the membrane of midgut epithelial cells of insects. Receptor proteins, such as aminopeptidase N and alkaline phosphatase, are gl...

Receptor proteins on the brush border membrane of the insect midgut epithelium are involved in the mode of action of insecticidal Cry proteins from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt). Polycalin has been identified as a binding protein of the Bt Cry1Ac toxin in several Lepidoptera including Helicoverpa armi...

Cry toxins produced by Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) are effective biological insecticides against certain insect species. However, there are potential risks of the evolved resistance of insects to Cry toxin owing to decreased binding of toxins to target sites in the brush border membranes of the larv...

With the long-term use of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) insecticide and expansion of Cry1A-expressing transgenic plants, some insect pests have developed resistance to Bt in open fields, greenhouses, and in the laboratory. Bt resistance is complex and there appear to be different ways for resistance d...

Cry toxins produced by Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) are effective biological insecticides against certain insect species. In this study, bioassay results indicated that Cry1B and Cry1C were toxic to Spodoptera exigua. We also identified a cadherin-like gene in S. exigua that could enhance the toxicit...

Light traps are widely utilized to monitor and manage insect pest populations. In late 2018, the fall armyworm (FAW), Spodoptera frugiperda, invaded China through Yunnan Province representing a huge threat to grain production. To estimate the efficiency of light traps on FAW moths, we first identifi...

Fall armyworm (FAW), Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith), has become an important pest in Chinese agricultural systems since its invasion on 11 December 2018. After its establishment, FAW months in the year-round breeding region have become the main source population migrating to other areas in China...
