2024 journal article

Cross- pollination in seed- blended refuge and selection for Vip3A resistance in a lepidopteran pest as detected by genomic monitoring

PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, 121(13).

By: D. Pezzini n, K. Taylor  n, D. Reisig n  & M. Fritz n

author keywords: Helicoverpa zea; genomic monitoring; Bacillus thuringiensis; pesticide resistance; polygenic adaptation
TL;DR: This work highlights the power of genomic monitoring to sensitively detect heritable changes associated with field exposure to Bt toxins and suggests that seed-blended refuge will likely hasten the evolution of resistance to Vip3A in lepidopteran pests. (via Semantic Scholar)

2016 journal article

Application of a dense genetic map for assessment of genomic responses to selection and inbreeding in Heliothis virescens

INSECT MOLECULAR BIOLOGY, 25(4), 385–400.

By: M. Fritz n, S. Paa n, J. Baltzegar n & F. Gould n 

author keywords: Heliothis virescens; genetic variation; colonization; inbreeding; ddRAD-seq; linkage map
MeSH headings : Animals; Bacillus thuringiensis / physiology; Bacillus thuringiensis Toxins; Bacterial Proteins / pharmacology; Chromosome Mapping; Endotoxins / pharmacology; Female; Genetic Variation; Genome, Insect; Hemolysin Proteins / pharmacology; Insecticide Resistance; Insecticides / pharmacology; Male; Moths / genetics
TL;DR: It is found that allelic and nucleotide diversity declined dramatically in laboratory-reared H. virescens as compared with field-collected populations, and the general expectations for reduced genetic diversity in laboratory colonies are confirmed. (via Semantic Scholar)
