Characterization of Cry2Ab2 resistance in Crocidosema sp. (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae): resistance selection, inheritance, cross‐resistance patterns, and fitness costs

Abstract BACKGROUND The soybean bud borer, Crocidosema sp., evolved field resistance to Cry1Ac soybean in Brazil, raising concerns regarding the durability of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) soybean technologies and potential evolution of resistance to additional Bt proteins. Here, a...
