Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) crops have been one of the most successful applications of genetic engineering in agriculture. The crops carry a gene that encodes a bacterial protein that kills insects ...
Cornell University entomologist Anthony Shelton finds when engineered crops containing just one Bt toxin grow near modified plants with two toxins, insects may more rapidly develop resistance to all ...

Researchers identify new pathway of resistance to one of the three insect-repelling proteins used in Bt cotton
Nearly 30 years ago, Australia's first genetically modified field crop was planted: Bt cotton. CSIRO scientists helped develop this insect-resistant cotton variety, using a gene derived from a soil ...
For all the international furor over genetically modified food, or GMOs, the biotech industry has really only managed to put a few foreign genes into food crops. The first of these genes — actually, a ...
