MAPK-dependent hormonal signaling plasticity contributes to overcoming Bacillus thuringiensis toxin action in an insect host

Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) is an important bioinsecticide, but high-level resistance has been rapidly evolving in agricultural pests. Here, Guo et al. show that the MAPK cascade can be activated by enhanced upstream insect hormone signals to counter Bt virulence in the diamondback moth.
