| effect of environment on resistance to the european corn borer (lepidoptera: crambidae) in maize. | the european corn borer, ostrinia nubilalis (hübner) (lepidoptera: crambidae), is a major pest of maize, zea mays l., in many temperate parts of the world. genotype-by-environment interaction effects can make relative performance unpredictable and may hamper selection for resistance to european corn borer. the objective of this study was to determine the effect of environment on genotypic reaction to european corn borer resistance in maize. a set of 12 maize inbred lines was chosen to represent ... | 2004 | 15568368 |
| chronic exposure of the european corn borer (lepidoptera: crambidae) to cry1ab bacillus thuringiensis toxin. | transgenic corn expressing the insecticidal toxin from bacillus thuringiensis berliner is gaining support as an effective control technology for use against lepidopteran pests, particularly european corn borer, ostrinia nubilalis hübner (lepidoptera: crambidae). however, there is concern that widespread adoption of transgenic plants will rapidly lead to b. thuringiensis toxin resistance. thus, long-term selection of o. nubilalis populations with the cry1ab b. thuringiensis toxin has been underta ... | 2001 | 11777065 |
