Background: Spodoptera frugiperda is one the main target pests of maize events expressing Vip3Aa20 protein from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) in Brazil. In this study, we selected a resistant strain of S. frugiperda on Bt maize expressing Vip3Aa20 protein and characterized the inheritance and fitness costs of the resistance.
Results: The resistance ratio of the Vip3Aa20-resistant strain of S. frugiperda was >3200-fold. Neonates of the Vip3Aa20-resistant strain were able to survive and emerge as fertile adults on Vip3Aa20 maize, while larvae from susceptible and heterozygous strains did not survive. The inheritance of Vip3Aa20 resistance was autosomal recessive and monogenic. Life history studies to investigate fitness cost revealed an 11% reduction in the survival rate until adult stage and a ∼50% lower reproductive rate of the Vip3Aa20-resistant strain compared with susceptible and heterozygous strains.
Conclusion: This is the first characterization of S. frugiperda resistance to Vip3Aa protein. Our results provide useful information for resistance management programs designed to prevent or delay resistance evolution to Vip3Aa proteins in S. frugiperda. © 2016 Society of Chemical Industry.

The corn earworm, (Boddie), causes persistent ear damage to corn grown in the southeastern United States region. Increased levels of ear damage have been associated with mycotoxin contamination in addition to yield loss. Corn hybrids expressing proteins from the (Bt) may provide corn earworm control.

MIR162, a maize event that expresses Vip3Aa20 (Vip3A) approved for commercial cultivation around 2010, has been excellent for control of major Lepidopteran pests. However, development of fall armyworm (FAW) resistance to Vip3A is a serious concern. Resistant colonies selected in the laboratory can serve as valuable tools not only for better understanding of Vip3A's mode of action (MOA) and mechanism of resistance (MOR) but also for screening novel leads of new MOA that will help control FAW in case resistance to Vip3A in the field becomes a reality.

The corn earworm/bollworm, (Boddie), is a pest species that is targeted by both (Bt) maize and cotton in the United States. Cry1Ab and Vip3Aa20 are two common Bt toxins that are expressed in transgenic maize. The objective of this study was to determine the resistance allele frequency (RAF) to Cry1Ab and Vip3Aa20 in populations that were collected during 2018 and 2019 from four southeastern U.

Background: Corn intercropped with ruzigrass is common in Brazil, and it can improve the physicochemical features of soils, increase water retention, and suppress the emergence of resistant weeds and soil nematodes. As both corn and ruzigrass are hosts to Spodoptera frugiperda (the main corn pest in South America), the cultivation of both these plants in the same place at one time motivates investigation into the pest population dynamics. We hypothesize that the intercropping system influences S.
