چکیده
J. Econ. Entomol. 90(3): 732-741 (1997) ABSTRACT A colony of Plutella xylostella (L.), established from crucifer fields in Florida, was used to investigate resistance to Bacillus thuringiensis Berliner subsp. kurstaki. From an initial level of >I,500-fold. resistance fell within 3 generations in the absence of selection to =300-fold compared with susceptible larvae. Unlike previous cases of resistance to B. thuringiensis in P. xylostella, resistance in our Florida colony was stable at "'=300-fold without additional selection in the laboratory. High levels of resistance (> I,OOO-fold) recurred after a single exposure to B. thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki in the 4th generation. High levels of resistance did not recur after a 2nd selection in the 8th generation. Cage studies and genetic analysis of F 1 larvae and backcross progeny. where the resistant parents were characterized by stable levels of resistance, showed that resistance was an incompletely recessive, autosomal trait probably controlled by a single allele that did not confer detectable levels of reduced fitness in the absence of exposure to B. thuringiensis. As one of the few shldies to demonstrate stable resistance to B. thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki from insects that were collected from the field and not subject to further selection in the laboratory, our results clearly emphasize the need to develop specific resistance management strategies for B. thuringiensis before there is widespread evolution of resistance.

J. Econ. Entomol. 86(3): 697-705 (1993) ABSTRACT Eleven populations of diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella (L.), were collected in 1990 from Brassica plants in six states of the United States and in Indonesia and tested for their responses to two formulations of Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki (Javelin we and DipeI2X), permethrin, and methomyI. Populations from Florida that had been tr...
متن کاملProspects for novel approaches towards management of the diamondback moth
Primary reliance on synthetic insecticides for control of diamondback moth has usually failed because of insecticide resistance and/or reduction of natural enemies by insecticides. Insecticide resistance has also been more recently documented with biological insecticides such as Bacillus thuringiensis and some growth regulators. Insecticide resistance management programs must be implemented and...
متن کاملDifferent cross-resistance patterns in the diamondback moth (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae) resistant to Bacillus thuringiensis toxin Cry1C.
Two strains of the diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella (L.), were selected using Cry1C protoxin and transgenic broccoli plants expressing a Cry1C toxin of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt). Both strains were resistant to Cry1C but had different cross-resistance patterns. We used 12 Bt protoxins for cross-resistance tests, including Cry1Aa, Cry1Ab, Cry1Ac, Cry1Bb, Cry1C, Cry1D, Cry1E, Cry1F, Cry1J, ...
متن کاملGenetic and biochemical characterization of field-evolved resistance to Bacillus thuringiensis toxin Cry1Ac in the diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella.
The long-term usefulness of Bacillus thuringiensis Cry toxins, either in sprays or in transgenic crops, may be compromised by the evolution of resistance in target insects. Managing the evolution of resistance to B. thuringiensis toxins requires extensive knowledge about the mechanisms, genetics, and ecology of resistance genes. To date, laboratory-selected populations have provided information...
متن کاملInsecticide Resistance Characteristics of Diamondback Moth
Resistance to organophosphorus, carbamate and pyrethroid insecticides in the diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella (L.) is widespread in Japan. Consequently, tertiary amines such as cartap and thiocyclam, microbial insecticides (formulations of Bacillus thuringiensis Berliner) and chitin synthesis inhibitors have been widely used for control. A high level of resistance to these alternative inse...
