The competitive ability and fitness components of the Methoprene-tolerant (Met) Drosophila mutant resistant to juvenile hormone analog insecticides.

Genetics - 1 May 1992

Minkoff C, Wilson T G

Abstract excerpt

The Methoprene-tolerant (Met) mutation of Drosophila melanogaster results in a high (100-fold) level of resistance to the insecticide methoprene, a chemical analog of juvenile hormone. Pest species that are under control with methoprene may therefore have the potential to evolve resistance via a mutation homologous to Met. To evaluate the potential of such mutants to persist in wild populations, we must...
