The study, published in Science, shows rootworms are increasingly resistant to the built-in protection of corn that is genetically engineered to produce insecticidal proteins derived from a bacterium ...

Bacillus thuringiensis is a species of bacteria that ... recent research suggests there has been an areawide suppression of European corn borer populations (Hutchison et al. 2010).

A new study cracks the code for increasing sustainability of the pest-killing proteins in genetically engineered crops.

Bt (bacillus thuringiensis) corn is a critical technology for many farmers to protect fields against insects. Refuge helps preserve the benefits of Bt technology, according to Take Action ...

Bt corn expresses a protein from the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis. Prior to construction of the recombinant corn, the protein had long been known to be toxic to a number of pestiferous insects ...

For more than 20 years, farmers across the globe have been planting crops, including corn, cotton, and soybeans, that have been genetically modified to express insecticide genes from the bacterium ...
