MeSH headings : Animals; Bacillus thuringiensis / genetics; Bacillus thuringiensis Toxins / genetics; Bacillus thuringiensis Toxins / pharmacology; Coleoptera / drug effects; Coleoptera / genetics; Coleoptera / pathogenicity; Colorado; Drug Resistance / genetics; Endotoxins / genetics; Endotoxins / pharmacology; Hemolysin Proteins / genetics; Hemolysin Proteins / pharmacology; Insect Proteins / genetics; Insecticides / pharmacology; Larva / genetics; Larva / growth & development; RNA Interference; RNA, Double-Stranded / genetics; RNA, Double-Stranded / pharmacology; Solanum tuberosum / growth & development; Solanum tuberosum / parasitology
TL;DR: These data represent the first documented case of resistance in an insect pest with high pesticide resistance potential using dsRNA delivered through non-transgenic techniques and help guide the design of resistance management tools and allow research to identify resistance alleles and estimate resistance risks.
