Multiple Known Mechanisms and a Possible Role of an Enhanced Immune System in Bt-Resistance in a Field Population of the Bollworm, <i>Helicoverpa zea</i>: Differences in Gene Expression with RNAseq

Multiple Known Mechanisms and a Possible Role of an Enhanced Immune System in Bt-Resistance in a Field Population of the Bollworm, <i>Helicoverpa zea</i>: Differences in Gene Expression with RNAseq

Several different agricultural insect pests have developed field resistance to Bt (<i>Bacillus thuringiensis</i>) proteins (ex. Cry1Ac, Cry1F, etc.) expressed in crops, including corn and cotton. In the bollworm, <i>Helicoverpa zea</i>, resistance levels are increasing; recen...
