Novel mutations in the para-homologous sodium channel gene associated with phenotypic expression of nerve insensitivity resistance to pyrethroids in Heliothine lepidoptera.

Insect molecular biology - 1 May 1998

Abstract excerpt

Coding sequences from the intracellular segment linking repeat domains III and IV of the para-homologous sodium channel gene were amplified and cloned from two species of Heliothine larvae using RT-PCR techniques. Sequence comparisons between standard laboratory susceptible and nerve insensitive...
