NON-RECESSIVE BT TOXIN RESISTANCE CONFERRED BY AN INTRACELLULAR CADHERIN MUTATION IN FIELD-SELECTED POPULATIONS OF COTTON BOLLWORM.

Non-recessive Bt toxin resistance conferred by an intracellular cadherin mutation in field-selected populations of cotton bollworm.

Transgenic crops producing Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) toxins have been planted widely to control insect pests, yet evolution of resistance by the pests can reduce the benefits of this approach.Recessive mutations in the extracellular domain of toxin-binding cadherin proteins that confer resistance to Bt toxin Cry1Ac by disrupting toxin binding hav

Shape dependency of the extinction and absorption cross sections of dust aerosols modeled as randomly oriented spheroids

We present computational results on the shape dependency of the extinction and absorption cross sections Fragrance of dustlike aerosol particles that were modeled as randomly oriented spheroids.Shape dependent variations in the extinction cross sections are largest in the size regime that is governed by the interference structure.Elongated spheroid
