Bt maize (e.g. MON 810, Bt 11) which carries the Bt gene is highly resistant to larval feeding of European corn borer, stalk borer, and Southwestern corn borer, depending on Bt toxin (δ toxin) production. Effective measures used to fight pests may often have positive side-effects in that they may also contribute to reducing mycotoxin concentrations. A systematic review has been used for the purposes of evaluating the studies on the reduction of aflatoxins in Bt maize. According to five studies, Bt maize has significantly lower concentrations of aflatoxins than non-Bt maize hybrids, only one study has shown no significant effect of Bt maize. Other studies have shown mixed results (four studies). The results of these studies were influenced by the year of sampling or by using maize breeding lines selected for resistance to aflatoxin accumulation.</p> <div id="keywords"> <h3>Keywords</h3> <p> <a href="/keywords/GMOs/">GMOs</a>, <a href="/keywords/transgenic-maize/">transgenic maize</a>, <a href="/keywords/aflatoxins/">aflatoxins</a>, <a href="/keywords/mycotoxin-reduction/">mycotoxin reduction</a>, <a href="/keywords/food-safety/">food safety</a>. </p> </div> <div id="references"> <h3>References</h3> <p><a href="references/">39 live references</a></p> </div> </div> <div id="prevnext"> <a href="/84/1/0043/" id="prev">« Previous article</a> <a href="/84/1/0055/" id="next">Next article »</a> <div class="cleaner"></div> </div> </div> <div id="col"> <div class="abstract-download"> <a href="/media/pdf/avb_2015084010047.pdf" title="Size: 1.4 MB">Open full article</a> </div> <div id="abstract-nav"> <h4>Page navigation</h4> <ul> <li><a href="#title">Title</a></li> <li><a href="#authors">Authors & Affiliations</a></li> <li><a href="#abstract">Abstract</a></li> <li><a href="#keywords">Keywords</a></li> <li><a href="#references">References</a></li> </ul> </div> <div id="abstract-functions"> <ul> <li><a href="/84/1/47/same_authors/">Other articles of these authors</a></li> <li><a href="/84/1/47/cited_by/">Cited by 8 articles</a> </li> </ul> </div> </div> <div id="footer"> <p><a rel="license" href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/"><img alt="Creative Commons License" style="border-width:0" src="/static/images/screen/cc-by.png" /></a><br />This work is licensed under a <a rel="license" href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/">Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License</a>. </p> <a id="fb-link" href="https://www.facebook.com/actavetbrno/"><img src="/static/images/FB-FindUsonFacebook-online-144.png" alt="Find us on Facebook" /></a> <a id="crossref" href="http://www.crossref.org/"><img src="https://assets.crossref.org/logo/crossref-logo-landscape-200.svg" height="45" alt="Crossref member" /></a> </div> </div> </body> </html>
