The paper identifies a Vip3Aa resistance gene in fall armyworm using CRISPR-mediated chromosome deletion and multi-omics analysis, revealing CHS2 as a candidate gene responsible for resistance.

The paper identifies a retrotransposon-mediated mutation in the chitin synthase gene SfCHS2 as a cause of high resistance to Vip3Aa toxin in fall armyworm.

This study uses high-depth resequencing to analyze genetic diversity and insecticide resistance in fall armyworm populations invading China, revealing hybrid origins and resistance patterns.
