Resistance‐associated point mutations of organophosphate insensitive acetylcholinesterase, in the olive fruit fly <i>Bactrocera oleae</i>
25 Jul 2002
Abstract excerpt
A 2.2-kb full length cDNA containing an ORF encoding a putative acetylcholinesterase (AChE) precursor of 673 amino acid residues was obtained by a combined degenerate PCR and RACE strategy from an organophosphate-susceptible Bactrocera oleae strain. A comparison of cDNA sequences of individual insects from susceptible and resistant strains, coupled with an enzyme inhibition assay with omethoate, indicated a novel...
