Resistance to four Bt toxins produced by exposing a hybrid multifamily strain (HMF) to toxin Cry1Aa

Source Generation n Toxin Conc., mg/liter Mortality,* %
5 families (pooled) F1 80 Cry1Aa 10 93
83 Cry1Aa 100 91
HMF F3 280 Cry1Aa 100 77
HMF F5 102 Cry1Aa 100 0

Mortality after 5 days was adjusted for control mortality. 

Eleven F1 survivors of exposure to Cry1Aa were pooled and mated among themselves for two generations to produce F3; mortality of F3 was not significantly different from 75% (χ2 = 2.45, df = 1, P > 0.1). 

Fifty-eight F3 survivors of exposure to Cry1Aa were pooled and mated among themselves for two generations to produce F5
