Comparative phenology of Lepidoptera on genetically modified BT- and non-BT maize
(North-West University, 2006)
The maize stem borers, Busseola fusca (Fuller) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) and Chilo
partellus (Swinhoe) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) are economically important pests of maize
in South Africa. Genetically modified Bt maize ...
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 ...
Community structure of gut microbes in Busseola fusca (Lepidoptera : Noctuidae)
(North-West University, 2015)
Bt-maize is engineered to express insecticidal toxins derived from the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis and has been shown to be very effective against pests like Busseola fusca.However, resistance of this pest against ...
Diversity of gut–microorganisms in Bt–resistant and Bt–susceptible larvae of the maize stem borer (Busseola fusca) (Lepidoptera : Noctuidae)
(North-West University, 2012)
Maize is one of Africa’s main food sources. It is therefore important to protect this crop
against pests such as the maize stem borer Busseola fusca. Genetically modified Bacillus
thuringiensis (Bt) maize has been shown ...
A PCR detection method for mutations in receptor–protein genes from Busseola fusca potentially involved in Bt–resistance
(North-West University, 2012)
Genetically modified (GM) crops attracted interest globally when use of these crops resulted in significant increases in yield and production. These increases were due to protection of crops from pests, weeds and diseases. ...
