Biological pest control

Recent GA checks out, QPQ done, within policy, Earwig detects no copyvios. The hook source is paywalled, but from the abstract it looks like only the specific protein toxin is being expressed in the transgenic plants, not the entire bacterium (which wouldn't make much sense anyway).

... that toxins from a bacterium have been incorporated into crop plants for biological pest control?
I've tightened the hook a bit, spot checks reveal no additional problems. Very small nitpick: perhaps it is important to note that the proteins are toxic to pests and not to people (if it's supported by the source)? John P. Sadowski (NIOSH) (talk) 03:17, 22 April 2017 (UTC)

Best not to obscure the article name. The above slight revision will work. John P. Sadowski (NIOSH) (talk) 02:43, 2 May 2017 (UTC)
