  abstract = {{T}ransgenic crops expressing {B}acillus thuringiensis ({B}t) toxins have been adopted worldwide, notably in developing countries. {I}n spite of their success in controlling target pests while allowing a substantial reduction of insecticide use, the sustainable control of these pest populations is threatened by the evolution of resistance. {T}he implementation of the "high dose/refuge" strategy for managing insect resistance in transgenic crops aims at delaying the evolution of resistance to {B}t crops in pest populations by promoting survival of susceptible insects. {H}owever, a crucial condition for the "high dose/refuge" strategy to be efficient is that the inheritance of resistance should be functionally recessive. {B}usseola fusca developed high levels of resistance to the {B}t toxin {C}ry 1{A}b expressed in {B}t corn in {S}outh {A}frica. {T}o test whether the inheritance of {B}. fusca resistance to the {B}t toxin could be considered recessive we performed controlled crosses with this pest and evaluated its survival on {B}t and non-{B}t corn. {R}esults show that resistance of {B}. fusca to {B}t corn is dominant, which refutes the hypothesis of recessive inheritance. {S}urvival on {B}t corn was not lower than on non-{B}t corn for both resistant larvae and the {F}-1 progeny from resistant x susceptible parents. {H}ence, resistance management strategies of {B}. fusca to {B}t corn must address non-recessive resistance.},
