Understanding the behavior of pests targeted with Bacillus thuringiensis Berliner (Bt) crops is important to define resistance management strategies. Particularly the study of larval movement between plants is important to determine the feasibility of refuge configurations. Exposure to Bt maize, Zea mays L. (Poaceae), has been suggested to increase larval movement in lepidopteran species but few studies have examined the potential for resistance to interact with behavioral responses to Bt toxins. Choice and no-choice experiments were conducted with Spodoptera frugiperda (JE Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) and Ostrinia nubilalis (Hübner) (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) to determine whether Cry1F resistance influences neonate movement. Leaf discs …
Larval Survival And Plant Injury Of Cry1ab-Susceptible, -Resistant, And -Heterozygous Genotypes Of The Sugarcane Borer On Transgenic Corn Containing Single Or Pyramided Bt Genes, David S. Wangila, B. Rogers Leonard, Yaoyu Bai, Graham P. Head, Fangneng Huang
Larval Survival And Plant Injury Of Cry1ab-Susceptible, -Resistant, And -Heterozygous Genotypes Of The Sugarcane Borer On Transgenic Corn Containing Single Or Pyramided Bt Genes, David S. Wangila, B. Rogers Leonard, Yaoyu Bai, Graham P. Head, Fangneng Huang

Transgenic corn (Zea mays L.) products expressing multiple Bt proteins targeting a same group of insect pests have become commercially available in the U.S. The first commercialized pyramided Bt corn technologies for managing lepidopteran pests include Genuity® VT Triple Pro™ and Genuity® SmartStax™. In this study, larval survival and plant injury of Cry1Ab-susceptible (Cry1Ab-SS), -resistant (Cry1Ab-RR), and -heterozygous (Cry1Ab-RS) genotypes of the sugarcane borer, Diatraea saccharalis F., on five commercial corn hybrids were evaluated in a leaf tissue bioassay and two greenhouse trials during 2010–2011. The five hybrids included two non-Bt corn and three Bt corn hybrids representing three …
Susceptibility Of Cry1ab Maize-Resistant And -Susceptible Strains Of Sugarcane Borer (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) To Four Individual Cry Proteins, Liping Zhang, Fangneng Huang, B. Rogers Leonard, Mao Chen, Thomas Clark, Yu Cheng Zhu, David S. Wangila, Fei Yang, Ying Niu
Susceptibility Of Cry1ab Maize-Resistant And -Susceptible Strains Of Sugarcane Borer (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) To Four Individual Cry Proteins, Liping Zhang, Fangneng Huang, B. Rogers Leonard, Mao Chen, Thomas Clark, Yu Cheng Zhu, David S. Wangila, Fei Yang, Ying Niu

Sugarcane borer, Diatraea saccharalis (F.), is a major target of Bt maize in South America and many areas of the US mid-south region. Six laboratory strains of D. saccharalis were established from six single-pair F2 families possessing major resistance alleles to Cry1Ab maize hybrids. Susceptibility of the six strains was evaluated on diet treated with each of four purified trypsin-activated Bt proteins, Cry1Ab, Cry1Aa, Cry1Ac, and Cry1F. Bt susceptibility of the six strains was compared with that of known Cry1Ab-susceptible and -resistant strains of D. saccharalis. At least two of the six strains demonstrated a similar level (>526-fold) …
