Mechanism of Insect Resistance to Bacillus-Thuringiensis in Plodia Interpunctella and Plutella-Xylostella. Vanrie, J., Vanmellaert, H., & Peferoen, M. Acs Symposium Series, 505:191-199, 1992.
abstract   bibtex   
The mechanism of resistance to Bacillus thuringiensis insecticidal crystal proteins (ICPs) was investigated in a laboratory-selected and a field-selected insect strain. In both cases, insect resistance appeared to be due to changes in ICP receptors, suggesting that alterations in ICP receptors are a general mechanism by which insects can adapt to B. thuringiensis. The absence of cross resistance to ICPs other than those present in the selecting agent and the finding that these ICPs bind to distinct receptors indicate that the use of ICP mixtures or multiple ICP expressing transgenic plants may be a valuable resistance management tactic.
