Transgenic plants producing insecticidal proteins from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) can control some major insect pests and reduce reliance on sprayed insecticides. However, large scale adoption of this technology has raised concerns about potential n... Read More about Prey-mediated effects of transgenic canola on a beneficial, non-target, carabid beetle..

Transgenic plants for insect pest control: a forward looking scientific perspective (2006)
Journal Article
Ferry, N., Edwards, M., Gatehouse, J., Capell, T., Christou, P., & Gatehouse, A. (2006). Transgenic plants for insect pest control: a forward looking scientific perspective. Transgenic Research, 15(1), 13-9. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11248-005-4803-x

One of the first successes of plant biotechnology has been the creation and commercialisation of transgenic crops exhibiting resistance to major insect pests. First generation products encompassed plants with single insecticidal Bt genes with resista... Read More about Transgenic plants for insect pest control: a forward looking scientific perspective.

Direct effects of snowdrop lectin (GNA) on larvae of three aphid predators and fate of GNA after ingestion (2006)
Journal Article
Hogervorst, P., Ferry, N., Gatehouse, A., Wäckers, F., & Romeis, J. (2006). Direct effects of snowdrop lectin (GNA) on larvae of three aphid predators and fate of GNA after ingestion. Journal of Insect Physiology, 52(6), 614-24. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jinsphys.2006.02.011

Plants genetically modified to express Galanthus nivalis agglutinin (GNA) have been found to confer partial resistance to homopteran pests. Laboratory experiments were conducted to investigate direct effects of GNA on larvae of three species of aphid...

Comparing the impact of conventional pesticide and use of a transgenic pest-resistant crop on the beneficial carabid beetle Pterostichus melanarius (2006)
Journal Article
Mulligan, E., Ferry, N., Jouanin, L., Walters, K., Port, G., & Gatehouse, A. (2006). Comparing the impact of conventional pesticide and use of a transgenic pest-resistant crop on the beneficial carabid beetle Pterostichus melanarius. Pest Management Science, 62(10), 999-1012. https://doi.org/10.1002/ps.1276

The potential impact of a chemical pesticide control method has been compared with that of transgenic plants expressing a protease inhibitor conferring insect resistance by utilising a tritrophic system comprising the crop plant Brassica napus (L.)
