CRY2AB RESISTANCE AND FLIGHT CAPACITY OF H. ARMIGERA
Date Issued:2014-08-05
Abstract
Outline/Question The effectiveness of the Bt refuge strategy relies not only on the production of susceptible moths in refuge crops, but also the movement of these moths within the Bt cotton landscape. However, as this is not a closed system, there is the potential for refuge crops to be contaminated with resistant alleles through the movement of resistant moths from Bollgard crops back into these areas. We investigated whether Cry2Ab resistance affects flight capacity of female Cotton Bollworm moths?
