Transgenic crops producing Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) toxins kill some key insect pests and can reduce reliance on insecticide sprays. Sustainable use of such crops requires methods for delaying ...
Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) is an insecticide with unusual properties that make it useful for pest control in certain situations. Bt is a naturally occurring bacterium common in soils throughout the ...
The European corn borer (ECB) consists of at least two., genetically differentiated host races: one feeding on maize, the other feeding on mugwort and hop. It is unclear to what extent individuals ...
In 2016, farmers worldwide planted more than 240 million acres (98 million hectares) of genetically modified corn, cotton and soybeans that produce insect-killing proteins from the bacterium Bacillus ...
Cornell University entomologist Anthony Shelton finds when engineered crops containing just one Bt toxin grow near modified plants with two toxins, insects may more rapidly develop resistance to all ...
Critics often raise concern that genetically engineered crops might harm the environment or people who eat them. But now a new study finds that farmers who plant Bt corn reduce crop damage and ...
Is the supposed safety advantage of GMO crops over conventional chemical pesticides a mirage? According to biotech lore, the Bt (Bacillus thuringiensis) pesticides introduced into many GMO food crops ...
If you have moths or caterpillars bothering your garden, Bt (or Bacillus thuringiensis) is your best bet to wipe them out without harming beneficial insects. You can buy this organic pest control at ...
A major challenge in bacterial developmental biology is to understand how the bacteria determine their fate at the cell level (Losick and Desplan, 2008; Lopez et al., 2009). To date, this question has ...
