Abstract excerpt
Resistance to methyl parathion insecticide has evolved in the tobacco budworm, Heliothis virescens, and several biochemical mechanisms have been identified in various strains. Reduced sensitivity of acetylcholinesterase to inhibition by methyl paraoxon, the active metabolite of the insecticide, is controlled by a single autosomal locus, AceIn. We report that AceIn is genetically linked to methyl parathion...
