Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Insect nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) serve as primary targets for neonicotinoid insecticides. Western flower thrips (Frankliniella occidentalis) is a major agricultural pest that has developed increasing resistance to neonicotinoids, for which there is a lack of functional studies on the impacts of resistance-associated mutations (e.g., the R81T mutation in the β1 subunit in other...
