Abstract:
Many lines of insect-resistant genetically modified (IRGM) corn and rice containing Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) insecticidal genes have been developed and undergone different environmental biosafety assessments stages in China, showing robust application prospects. The potential of targeted pests to develop resistance to Bt crops is widespread, which threatens the sustainable utility of IRGM corn and rice. In this study, the potential risks of target pest complexes developing resistance to IRGM corn and rice are evaluated. Theoretical and empirical studies implementing precautionary insect resistance management (IRM) strategies to delay resistance evolution are summarized and challenges to IRM are discussed. Additionally, solutions facing these challenges are proposed. Finally, directions for future studies in developing IRGM corn and rice and IRM plans are discussed.

The first-ever transgenic plant was a tobacco plant developed in 1983 that showed resistance against the tobacco mosaic virus. Since then, many transgenic plants have been developed and commercialized for improving the agricultural, ornamental, and horticultural value of a crop plant. Transgenic...
