Bt proteins such as Vip3Aa are commonly used in #GMcrops to control lepidopteran #pests, but Vip3Aa resistance has been observed. This study identifies a gene in the crop pest #Helicoverpa armigera #CottonBollworm whose disruption confers resistance to Vip3Aa @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4kBtD89

Hybrid megapests evolving in Brazil are a threat to crops worldwide
Two extremely damaging crop pests have interbred to create hybrids resistant to more than one pesticide that could cause serious problems in many countries
