Base-line susceptibility of Busseola fusca for Bt maize in South Africa
(North-West University (South Africa), 2015)
Genetically modified maize that express insecticidal proteins (Bt proteins) have been
commercialized in South Africa for the control of Busseola fusca (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae). Busseola fusca has been reported to be ...
The role of gut microbes on the efficacy of Bt maize against lepidopteran stem borers
(North-West University, 2015)
The evolution of pest resistance to Cry proteins threatens the long-term use of Bt crops. Busseola fusca developed resistance to Bt maize in South Africa but the mechanism of resistance is not well understood. According ...
An investigation into the development and status of resistance of Busseola fusca (Lepidoptera : Noctuidae) to Bt maize
(North-West University, 2010)
Based on surface area, South Africa is currently ranked 8th in planting genetically modified (GM) crops in the world. The stem borer, Busseola fusca (Fuller) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) is of economic importance throughout ...
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 ...
