Abstract

The Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. israelensis cytolytic protein Cyt1Aa was found to be toxic to an insecticide-susceptible laboratory population of Plutella xylostella. Cry1Ac-resistant populations of P. Xylostella showed various degrees of resistance to Cyt1Aa. Cyt1Aa/Cry1Ac mixtures showed a marked level of synergism in the Cry1Ac-resistant populations.
