Insecticidal proteins from the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) are used in sprayable
formulations or produced in transgenic crops as the most successful alternatives to synthetic …

Bacillus thuringiensis bacteria are insect pathogens that produce different Cry and Cyt toxins
to kill their hosts. Here we review the group of three-domain Cry (3d-Cry) toxins. Expression …

Crops genetically engineered to produce insecticidal proteins from Bacillus thuringiensis
(Bt) have advanced pest control, but their benefits have been reduced by evolution of …

Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) bacteria are insect pathogens that rely on insecticidal pore
forming proteins known as Cry and Cyt toxins to kill their insect larval hosts. At least four …

Bacillus thuringiensis Crystal (Cry) and Cytolitic (Cyt) protein families are a diverse group of
proteins with activity against insects of different orders—Lepidoptera, Coleoptera, Diptera …

The first book in two decades to address this multi-faceted field, The Toxicology and
Biochemistry of Insecticides provides the most up-to-date information on insecticide …

Parasporal crystals produced by Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) bacteria are the main virulence
factors underlying Bt toxicity to insects. Parasporal crystals are composed primarily of Cry …

The recent accumulation of molecular studies on mutations in insects, ticks and mites
conferring resistance to insecticides, acaricides and biopesticides is reviewed. Resistance is …

Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) Cry toxins constitute the active ingredient in the most widely used
biological insecticides and insect-resistant transgenic crops. A clear understanding of their …

Plants may also be resistant to arthropods via the tolerance category of resistance, as
defined in Chapter 1, by possessing the ability to withstand or recover from damage caused …
