TABLE 1.

Toxicity of Cry1Ab protoxin (inclusion bodies) or chymotrypsin-activated Cry1Ab (soluble toxin) with B. thuringiensis-susceptible (688s) and B. thuringiensis-resistant (198r and Dplr) colonies of P. interpunctellaa

Cry1Ab LD50 (CI) and RR valuesb for colony:
688s (LD50) Dplr
198r
LD50 RR LD50 RR
Protoxin 0.208 (0.072–0.458) 218 (none) 1,049 54.81 (34.19–71.04) 264
Toxin 0.005 (0.002–0.012) 1.45 (none) 290 0.123 (0.062–0.227) 25
a

Tests were performed using a diet cube assay.

LD50 values are expressed as micrograms per larvae, with the 95% confidence interval (CI) given in parentheses. The RR value is the LD50 of the resistant colony/LD50 of the 688s colony.
