The DNA screening data confirm results from bioassays showing pink bollworm resistance to Cry1Ac remained rare in the Yangtze River Valley from 2012-2015. The prevalence in China of the resistance allele identified from the U.S. implies a shared genetic basis of resistance that could facilitate molecular monitoring of resistance. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry.
