Data for: Inheritance and fitness costs for western corn rootworm with laboratory-selected resistance to Gpp34/Tpp35Ab1 corn

Western corn rootworm, <i>Diabrotica virgifera virgifera</i> LeConte (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), is a serious pest of corn and is currently managed with corn hybrids that produce insecticidal proteins derived from the bacterium <i>Bacillus thuringiensis</i> (Bt). The Bt protein Gpp34/Tpp35Ab1, previously named Cry34/35Ab1, has been widely used in transgenic Bt corn for management of western corn rootworm, and field-evolved resistance has been found in some populations. This research will help improve insect resistance management by providing a better understanding of the risk of western corn rootworm evolving resistance to transgenic corn that produces Gpp34/Tpp35Ab1. Dataset contains tabular data divided between seven .xlsx files.
