The evolution of insecticide resistance in the peach-potato aphid, Myzus persicae
1998-10-29
Abstract excerpt
The peach-potato aphid Myzus persicae (Sulzer) can resist a wide range of insecticides, but until recently (1990) the only mechanism identified was the increased production of carboxylesterases (E4 or FE4), which cause enhanced degradation and sequestration of insecticidal esters. We have now identified two forms of target-site resistance involving changes in the acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and sodium channel (kdr...
