Abstract The development of resistance to Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) in insect populations in agriculture not only depends on the level of resistance conferred by a selected resistance mechanism, but also on the fitness cost associated with the resistance mechanism under specific ecological and environmental conditions. Bt resistance in the cabbage looper (Trichoplusia ni), which was identified by Janmaat and Myers (2003), is a case of Bt resistance evolved in an agricultural system, and is used in this chapter to review and discuss the mechanism of Cry1Ac resistance that is selected in an agricultural environment.
