Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Cross-resistance in the Colorado potato beetle (Leptinotarsa decemlineata) threatens insecticide efficacy and sustainable pest management. While metabolic detoxification is often implicated in resistance, its role in driving cross-resistance evolution to novel insecticides remains unclear. Here, we evaluated phenotypic and transcriptional responses to both the widely used neonicotinoid imidacloprid...
