The intensification of agriculture and the development of synthetic insecticides enabled
worldwide grain production to more than double in the last third of the 20th century …

RNA interference (RNAi)‐based technologies are starting to be commercialized as a new
approach for agricultural pest control. Horizontally transferred genes (HTGs), which have …

Due to the increasing demand for high-quality and high fiber-yielding cotton (Gossypium
spp.), research into the development of stress-resilient cotton cultivars has acquired greater …

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of soil water deficit on insecticidal protein
expression in boll shells of cotton transgenic for a Bt gene. In 2014, Bt cotton cultivars …

Abstract Background Compared to Bollgard-I, the utilization of Cry2Ab protein in Bollgard-II
cotton cultivars enhances insect control. Field and laboratory studies demonstrated …

With the widespread use of transgenic Bt-cotton in China and the reduction in the amount of
broad-spectrum insecticides used in cotton production, piercing-sucking insects, including …

The use of insecticidal crystal proteins (Cry proteins) in Bollgard-II cotton (Gossypium
hirsutum) hybrids enhances insect control, particularly against bollworms. The combined …

Differently expression proteins under high‐temperature and drought stress were screened to
investigate how stress affected the insecticidal protein content. These stresses decrease …

The advent of genetically modified crops expressing insecticidal proteins of the bacterium
Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) revolutionized the management of insect pest species …

Natural mortality factors are responsible for regulating pest populations in the field.
However, plant attributes such as the variety and phenological stage can influence the …
