A new progress in the field of interaction between Bt toxin protein and plant toxin has been made recently by the Plant and Insect Interaction Group of the College of Agriculture, Zhengzhou University (ZZU), whose related achievement is published in the international journal of Insect Science, with the title of “Inductive and synergistic interactions between plant allelochemical flavone and Bt toxin Cry1Ac in Helicoverpaarmigera”.

The paper was first completed in ZZU by the first author Wang Shan, a 2018 graduate student, and Deng Zhongyuan, a postdoctoral fellow as the co-corresponding author, of the College of Agriculture.
