Climate Change Effects on Insects: Implications for Crop Protection and Food Security (2014, background): “…ratio, carbon defensive compounds, condensed tannin, and gossypol under elevated CO2, which results in a significant decrease in the Bt-toxin expression and has a considerable influence on the effectiveness of transgenic crops for pest management (Coviella et al. 2002; Chen et al. 2005).”
Resistance Mechanisms Against Arthropod Herbivores in Cotton and Their Interactions with Natural Enemies (2013, background): “armigera larvae consumed more Bt or non-Bt cotton material under elevated CO2 conditions, most likely to compensate for the reduced N content (Chen et al., 2005b).”
Impacts of Changing Climate and Climate Variability on Seed Production and Seed Industry (2013, background): “Most studies continue to investigate pest damage as a separate function of either [CO2] (Agrell et al., 2004; Chen et al., 2005) or climate, mostly temperature.”
