As more transgenic crop plants become commercialised, there is an increasing need for
information on their impacts on honey bees and bumblebees. Direct effects on bees may …

Protease inhibitors have been proposed as potential control molecules that could be
engineered into potato plants for developing crops resistant to the Colorado potato beetle …

Due to increasing problems occurring from massive applications of pesticides, such as
insect resistance to pesticides, the use of biotechnological tools to minimize losses from …

The effects of dietary transgenic Bt corn pollen on 4–5–day-old honey bee worker larvae
were examined. We measured larval and pupal mortalities, pupal weight, and haemolymph …

To assess potential impacts of transgenic pest-resistant plants, newly-emerged adult honey
bees from ten colonies were tagged, placed in cages at 33 oC, and fed with 625$\mu $ g/g …

The effects of different levels of dietary crude protein on the development, antioxidant
enzymatic activity, and total midgut protease activity of honey bees were investigated in the …

Cowpea trypsin inhibitor (CpTI) was shown to have a deleterious effect on the growth and
development of larvae of the tomato moth, Lacanobia oleracea, when incorporated in …

Bauhinia bauhinoides cruzipain inhibitor (BbCI) and Bauhinia bauhinioides kallikrein
inhibitor (BbKI) are cysteine and serine proteinase inhibitors structurally homologous to …

Snowdrop lectin (Galanthus nivalis agglutinin, GNA) has previously been shown to confer
significant levels of protection against the lepidopteran pest Lacanobia oleracea when …

To investigate potential impacts of insecticidal transgene products on hypopharyngeal gland
development, newly-emerged adult honey bees were kept in cages and fed for ten days with …
