Implications of Bt resistance in H. armigera

Mahon, Rod (CSIRO, 2010-06-30)

This project resolved two long-standing anomalies regarding Cry2Ab resistance in H. armigera.

The Changing Bt Resistance Landscape

Downes, Sharon, Mahon, Rod, Lu, Baoqian (2008-08-10)

Summary of main points * There have been no reports of field failures of Bollgard II due to resistance. * A higher frequency of Cry2Ab genes are obtained using F1 screens compared to F2 screens.

Fitness and mechanism of resistance to Cry2Ab in Helicoverpa armigera

Mahon, Rod (CSIRO Entomology, 2007-06-30)

Transgenic cotton has proved to be valued by Australian cotton growers and over 80% of all cotton grown is Bollgard II.

Resistance and Refuges

Downes, Sharon, Mahon, Rod, Olsen, Karen (2006-08-10)

In the 1996/97 season the Australian industry adopted an insect-resistant variety of cotton (INGARD) that is specific to the group of insects including the target pests Helicoverpa armigera and H.
