In 2015, Oxitec developed GM-diamondback moths which produce non-viable female larvae to control populations able to develop resistance to insecticides. The GM-insects were initially placed in cages for field trials. Earlier, the moth was the first crop pest to evolve resistance to DDT [27] and eventually became resistant to 45 other ...
The bugs have a piercing, sucking mouthpart that leaves behind brown circles as they feed on leaves, and while the damage is just cosmetic, the bugs move fast so it can seemingly look like the ...
They are useful for their insecticidal action and are the primary toxin produced by the genetically modified (GM) Bt maize/corn and other GM crops. During spore formation the bacteria produce crystals of such proteins (hence the name Cry toxins) that are also known as parasporal bodies , next to the endospores ; as a result some members are ...
The U.S. GM cotton crop was 4.0 million hectares, the second largest area in the world, followed by China with 3.9 million hectares and Pakistan with 2.6 million hectares. [6] By 2014, 96% of cotton grown in the United States was genetically modified [7] and 95% of cotton grown in India was GM. [8] India is the largest producer of cotton, and ...
Abby Deneau points out a large patch of invasive knotweed on Tuesday, Aug. 2, 2022, at Grand Woods Park in Lansing. Michigan's invasive species watchlist includes information on several bugs ...
Other GM crops grown in 2014 include Alfalfa (862 000 ha), sugar beet (494 000 ha) and papaya (7 475 ha). In Bangladesh a genetically modified eggplant was grown commercially for the first time on 12 ha. [6] The majority of GM crops have been modified to be resistant to selected herbicides, usually a glyphosate or glufosinate based one.

[10] MON 89034 is an Insect resistant maize expressing the cry1A.105 and cry2Ab proteins for lepidopteran insect pest protection. Under license from the ...
A traditional, cold Michigan winter is a key to how certain vital state crops grow, and how invasive species are held back. Mild Michigan winters could have consequences for crops, gardens ...
