Mutation in the Cadherin Gene Is a Key Factor for Pink Bollworm Resistance to Bt Cotton in China

Abstract: Transgenic crops producing Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) toxins are widely planted for insect control, but their efficacy may decrease as insects evolve resistance. Understanding the genetic basis of insect resistance is essential for developing an integrated strategy of resistance management. To understand the genetic basis of resistance in pink bollworm (Pectinophora gossypiella) to Bt cotton in the Yangtze River Valley of China, we conducted an F2 screening for alleles associated with resistance to the Bt (Cr… Show more

“…Results of modeling show that together with fitness costs associated with resistance and incomplete resistance, the increased planting of F 2 hybrids is sufficient to account for the restoration of susceptibility to Cry1Ac that was seen in bioassays conducted from 2011 to 2015 [ 44 ]. Additional monitoring discussed in more detail below ( Section 4.2.1 ) shows susceptibility to Cry1Ac was maintained at least through 2017 [ 61 , 62 ]. The voluntary planting of F 2 hybrids apparently has immediate benefits in terms of lower seed costs and higher yields, as well as serendipitous benefits for managing resistance [ 44 ].…”

“…Resistance to Cry1Ac and Cry1Ac-producing Bt cotton is associated with mutations in the pink bollworm cadherin gene PgCad1 in lab-selected strains from China and the U.S. as well as field-selected populations from India [ 51 , 62 , 84 , 96 , 98 , 99 , 100 , 101 , 104 , 108 , 109 , 119 , 120 , 121 ]. The wild-type PgCad1 protein has 1735 amino acids [ 96 ] that form four domains: a cytoplasmic domain, a transmembrane domain, and two extracellular domains ( Figure 3 ).…”

“…To date, pink bollworm resistance to the Bt toxins Cry1Ac and Cry2Ab has been associated with the midgut cadherin PgCad1 and the ATP-binding cassette PgABCA2 genes, respectively. For Cry1Ac, a total of 20 mutations in PgCad1 have been identified in resistant pink bollworm from China, India, and the U.S. (Fabrick et al, 2014; Fabrick & Tabashnik, 2012; Morin et al, 2003; Wang et al, 2019a; Wang et al, 2018; Wang et al, 2022). Resistance to Cry1Ac in a laboratory strain of pink bollworm from Arizona was also found to involve reduced transcription of the PgCad1 gene leading to markedly lower abundance of the PgCad1 Cry1Ac receptor protein (Fabrick et al, 2020b).…”
