Abstract excerpt
Genetic linkage of hscp (heliothis sodium channel protein) and CYP6B10 was discovered in Heliothis virescens. The hscp gene encodes the sodium channel target of pyrethroid insecticides and cytochrome P450 genes encode important enzymes involved in detoxication of various pesticides. Previously, two mechanisms, nerve insensitivity due to sodium channel and synergism by propynyl aryl ethers, were observed in...
