A controlled environment assay for the rapid evaluation of verticillium stripe resistance in canola Open
Verticillium stripe disease is an emerging threat to canola production in Western Canada. Accurately assessing verticillium stripe resistance in breeding germplasm collections is crucial for identifying sources of genetic resistance. Curre…

Transgenic cotton expressing Mpp51Aa2 does not adversely impact beneficial non-target hemiptera in the field Open
The modified Mpp51Aa2 (previously Cry51Aa2.834_16) insecticidal crystal protein derived from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) protects against feeding damage caused by targeted hemipteran and thysanopteran pests, and was transformed in cotton t…

A new generation of <i>Bt</i> maize for control of fall armyworm (<span><i>Spodoptera frugiperda</i></span>) Open
BACKGROUND The pyramided genetically modified maize ( Zea mays [L.]) event MON 95379, expressing the Cry1B.868 and Cry1Da_7 proteins, was designed to protect against larval feeding damage by the fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (FAW). …

Bacillus thuringiensis Cry1Da_7 and Cry1B.868 Protein Interactions with Novel Receptors Allow Control of Resistant Fall Armyworms, Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith) Open
There is increased concern with the development of resistance to insecticidal proteins currently expressed in crop plants, especially against high-resistance-risk pests such as fall armyworm (FAW), Spodoptera frugiperda , a maize pest that…

Host nuclear genotype influences phenotype of a conditional mutualist symbiont Open
Arthropods commonly carry maternally inherited intracellular bacterial symbionts that may profoundly influence host biology and evolution. The intracellular symbiont Rickettsia sp. nr. bellii swept rapidly into populations of the sweetpota…

Natural enemy impacts on <i> <span>B</span> emisia tabaci </i> ( <span>MEAM1</span> ) dominate plant quality effects in the cotton system Open
1. Plant quality (bottom‐up effects) and natural enemies (top‐down effects) affect herbivore performance. Furthermore, plant quality can also influence the impact of natural enemies. 2. Lower plant quality through reduced irrigation increa…
