Bt Toxin Modification for Enhanced Efficacy

Bt Toxin Modification for Enhanced Efficacy

Insect-specific toxins derived from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) provide a valuable resource for pest suppression. Here we review the different strategies that have been employed to enhance toxicity against specific target species including those that have evolved resistance to Bt, or to modify the h...
