The paper identifies a transposable element insertion in a second thyroglobulin-like gene as a mechanism of Vip3Aa resistance in Helicoverpa armigera.

This study identifies a novel gene, HaVipR1, responsible for Vip3Aa resistance in Helicoverpa armigera through genetic crosses and genomic analysis, showing its role in conferring resistance independently of known genes.

This study shows that knocking out SfVipR1 in Spodoptera frugiperda confers high-level resistance to Vip3Aa toxin but not Cry1Fa.

The paper analyzes population genomic data of the fall armyworm to show multiple introduction events and gene flow across the Old World.

The paper presents a chromosome-level genome assembly for the beet armyworm using PacBio and Hi-C sequencing, revealing insights into gene family expansions related to adaptation.
