Do dynamics of crop maturation and herbivorous insect life cycle influence the risk of adaptation to toxins in transgenic host plants?
Onstad, D. W., & Gould, F. (1998, June). ENVIRONMENTAL ENTOMOLOGY, Vol. 27, pp. 517–522.
author keywords: Ostrinia nubilalis; Zea mays; Bacillus thuringiensis; insecticide resistance; host plant resistance
