Genetic Basis for Variability of Cry1Ac Expression Among Commercial Transgenic Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) Cotton Cultivars in the United States by John J. Adamczyk, Jr. and William R. Meredith, Jr., The Journal of Cotton Science 8:1723 | 15 Dec 2004 Study shows that genetic background has a major effect on Cry1Ac expression in Bt cotton cultivars. It also provides a summary of studies pointing to limitations in Bt cotton's control of many lepidopteran pest.
