TL;DR: The finding that selection by pesticides may result in the amplification of genes encoding detoxifying enzymes in whole, normally developed, reproducing insects emphasizes the biological importance of this mechanism and opens new areas of investigation in pesticide resistance management.

TL;DR: In this paper, the structure of the amplification unit encompassing the structural gene has been partially characterized, and the inferred amino acid sequence of the enzyme revealed regions of strong homology with other eukaryotic serine-esterases, such as cholinesterases, which are the target of OPs.

TL;DR: Proteins immunologically related to esterase B1 were detected in Aedes aegypti L., Myzus persicae Sultzer, and Musca domestica L., although they were not overproduced in the organophosphate-resistant strains of these species.

TL;DR: Data indicate that high metabolic activity occurs in rice embryo under anoxia, which can be correlated with a high energy charge value, which may be part of the mechanisms which permit the adaptation of rice embryos to anaerobiosis.

TL;DR: Using a partial cDNA of this gene, genomic fragments generated by EcoR1 restriction enzyme in various laboratory and natural populations of Culex that are OP resistant are probed.
