Abstract excerpt
The whitefly, Bemisia tabaci, a globally significant pest transmitting over 200 plant viruses, has developed substantial resistance to insecticides, particularly neonicotinoids. Using near-isogenic lines, bulked segregant analysis (BSA), and genetic linkage analysis, we identified a major resistance locus on chromosome 6. The locus harbored dual mutations in the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) β1 subunit...
