The effect of indirect exposure to Cry 1Ab proteins on the biology of the green Lacewing (Chrysoperla Pudica)

Genetically modified (GM) maize that expresses CrylAb protein was developed for control of the maize stem borer (Busseola fusca). In this study we evaluated the possible effect of this protein on the non-target organism Chrysoperla pudica, by feeding it with resistant larvae of the target pest. Only...

Zusammenfassung:Genetically modified (GM) maize that expresses CrylAb protein was developed for control of the maize stem borer (Busseola fusca). In this study we evaluated the possible effect of this protein on the non-target organism Chrysoperla pudica, by feeding it with resistant larvae of the target pest. Only a small number of adverse effects were observed on the biology of C. pudica.
