A new study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences reveals a novel genetic basis of resistance to transgenic crops in one of the most important crop pests in the United States. ...
Researchers used genomics to investigate the genetic changes causing resistance to transgenic crops in field populations of the corn earworm, also known as cotton bollworm or Helicoverpa zea.
Biological control, a cornerstone of integrated pest management (IPM), represents a sustainable and ecologically conscious approach within modern agricultural systems. This strategy harnesses the ...
