	New tech fights fall armyworm by letting offspring die V. Ouma, Sci Dev Net, 2022. Scientists have developed a new technology that could control the devastating fall armyworm crop pest by releasing genetically-controlled males that suppress populations as subsequent offspring cannot survive, a study says. The fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda, which was ... Keywords: autocidal, Bayer, fall army worm, frugiperda, genetic biocontrol, Oxitec, SIT, Spodoptera, sterile insect technique
	Self-limiting fall armyworm: a new approach in development for sustainable crop protection and resistance management C. E. Reavey, A. S. Walker, S. P. Joyce, L. Broom, A. Willse, K. Ercit, M. Poletto, Z. H. Barnes, T. Marubbi, B. J. Troczka, D. Treanor, K. Beadle, B. Granville, V. de Mello, J. Teal, E. Sulston, A. Ashton, L. Akilan, N. Naish, O. Stevens, N. Humphreys-Jo, BMC Biotechnology, 22:5. 2022. Here, we describe the first germline transformation of the fall armyworm and the development of a genetically engineered male-selecting self-limiting strain, OX5382G, which exhibits complete female mortality in the absence of an additive in the larval diet. Laboratory experiments ... Keywords: autocidal, Bayer, fall army worm, frugiperda, genetic biocontrol, Oxitec, SIT, Spodoptera, sterile insect technique
	Armyworm meets Friendly moth M. Francisco, Nature Biotechnology, 39:532-532. 2021. The fall armyworm moth, a pest so named for its caterpillar’s invasive and destructive behavior, may now have to contend with a ‘Friendly’ foe. UK-based Oxitec and agbiotech giant Bayer have jointly developed a genetically modified variety to combat the fall armyworm ...
