CRISPR-Mediated Knockout of the <i>ABCC2</i> Gene in <i>Ostrinia furnacalis</i> Confers High-Level Resistance to the <i>Bacillus thuringiensis</i> Cry1Fa Toxin

The adoption of transgenic crops expressing <i>Bacillus thuringiensis</i> (Bt) insecticidal crystalline (Cry) proteins has reduced insecticide application, increased yields, and contributed to food safety worldwide. However, the efficacy of transgenic Bt crops is put at risk by the adapt...
