Characterisation of novel resistance and cross-resistance to Bacillus thuringiensis toxin in the diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella (Lepidoptera: Yponomeutidae)

The mechanisms of resistance to the Bacillus thuringiensis crystal toxin Cry1Ac were explored in the Plutella xylostella SERD4 population, which shows polygenic resistance to Cry1Ac with cross-resistance to the pyrethroid deltamethrin that can be partially overcome by co-administering the esterase i...
