Response of selected non-target Lepidoptera, Coleoptera and Diptera species to Cry1Ab protein expressed by genetically modified maize
(North-West University, 2010)
The environmental impacts of genetically modified (GM) crop plants such as Bt (Bacillus thuringiensis) maize have not yet been fully assessed in South Africa. Bt maize designed to express Bt endotoxin for control of Busseola ...
A comparative study of arthropod diversity on conventional and Bt–maize at two irrigation schemes in South Africa
(North-West University, 2011)
The purpose of the research was to explore the experiences of educators regarding the
training for the implementation of inclusive education in a Full Service school. A qualitative
research design was chosen, using a ...
Oviposition site preference of lacewings in maize ecosystems and the effect of Bt maize on Chrysoperla pudica (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae)
(North-West University, 2010)
Resistance development and possible non–target effects have been of concern since the first deployment of genetically modified crops with insecticidal properties. It is especially at the third trophic level and with
important ...
Assessment of Brassica napus gene flow potential to wild relatives in northern South Africa
(2016)
The Brassicaceae, distributed throughout South Africa, is a family in which hybridization may occur between cultivated species and its wild and weedy relatives. Hybridization with transgenic varieties could increase the ...
The indirect effect of Cry 1Ab protein expressed in Bt maize, on the biology of Chrysoperla pudica (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae)
(2014)
Genetically modified (GM) maize was developed mainly to control lepidopteran pests such as the maize stem borer (Busseola fusca) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae). Since the first commercialization of GM crops with insecticidal ...
