GM Cotton Gets First Resistant Pest - by Kate Melville
"Bollworm are the first pests to evolve resistance in the field to cotton plants modified to produce an insecticide called Bt, according to a new research report in Nature Biotechnology. Bt-resistant populations of bollworm, Helicoverpa zea, were found in more than a dozen crop fields in Mississippi and Arkansas between 2003 and 2006. 'What we're seeing is evolution in action,' said lead researcher Bruce Tabashnik. 'This is the first documented case of field-evolved resistance to a Bt crop.'"
