A transgenic approach for controlling Lygus in cotton

A transgenic approach for controlling Lygus in cotton

Plant-feeding insects of the Lygus genus have emerged as a major pest effecting cotton crops in the USA. Here the authors optimize the insecticidal activity of a Bacillus thuringiensis crystal protein and produce transgenic plants that are resistant to feeding damage by Lygusspecies.
