Abstract excerpt
The TMXR is a strain of melon aphids (Aphis gossypii Glover) that has extremely high resistance (resistance ratio > 2300 fold) to thiamethoxam. We explored the basis of this resistance by examining differences in nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) and cytochrome P450 monooxygenase (CYP450s) between the TMXR and the susceptible strain. The results showed that two mutation sites of nAChR β1 subunit, V62I...
