Abstract excerpt
Insecticides remain valuable tools for the control of insect pests that significantly impact human health and agriculture. A deeper understanding of insecticide targets is important in maintaining this control over pests. Our study systematically investigates the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) gene family, in order to identify the receptor subunits critical to the insect response to insecticides from...
