Abstract excerpt
Levels of insecticide resistance, carboxylesterase activity, carboxylesterase expression, and the cDNA sequence of carboxylesterase gene were investigated in malathion resistant and susceptible strains of cotton aphids, Aphis gossypii (Glover). The resistant strain (MRR) exhibited 80.6-fold resistance to malathion compared to the susceptible strain (MSS) in cotton aphids. Five substrates, alpha-naphthyl acetate...
