Competing Interests
The authors have read the journal's policy and have the following conflicts: Alejandra Bravo and Mario Soberon are coauthors of a patent on modified Bt toxins named "Suppression of Resistance in Insects to Bacillus thuringiensis Cry Toxins, Using Toxins that do not Require the Cadherin Receptor" (patent numbers: CA2690188A1, CN101730712A, EP2184293A2, EP2184293A4, EP2184293B1, WO2008150150A2, WO2008150150A3). This does not alter the authors' adherence to PLOS ONE policies on sharing data and materials.
