DOI: 10.1128/aem.01622-22
Abstract: Transgenic traits targeting WCR based on insecticidal proteins from Bacillus thuringiensis have proven effective in protecting maize yield in North America. High adoption has led to WCR populations that are resistant to the trait proteins.… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/plants11182335
Abstract: The Western corn rootworm (WCR; Diabrotica virgifera virgifera) is an economically important belowground pest of maize. Belowground feeding by WCR is damaging because it weakens the roots system, diminishes nutrient uptake, and creates entry points… read more here.
