Journal ArticleDOI
Ion channels as insecticide targets
TL;DR: It is found that the insecticide-specific pharmacology of some receptors, like that containing subunits of the Rdl encoded GABA receptor, can be reconstituted with very few of the naturally occurring subunits expressed.
Journal ArticleDOI
A CRISPR/Cas9 mediated point mutation in the alpha 6 subunit of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor confers resistance to spinosad in Drosophila melanogaster.

TL;DR: This study uses the CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing platform to introduce the G275E mutation into the nAChR α6 subunit of Drosophila melanogaster, and demonstrates the functional role of this amino acid substitution in resistance to spinosad.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: A series of field campaigns using balloon-borne instruments launched from India and Saudi Arabia during the summers 2014-2017 to study the nature, formation and impacts of the Asian Tropopause Aerosol Layer (ATAL) was conducted in this article.
Journal ArticleDOI
A single amino acid change makes a rat neuronal sodium channel highly sensitive to pyrethroid insecticides.
Horia Vais,Shannon Atkinson,N. Eldursi,Alan L. Devonshire,Martin S. Williamson,Peter N.R. Usherwood +5 more
TL;DR: It is reported here that substitution of isoleucine for methionine at position 874 (equivalent to the super‐kdr site 918 in the housefly) in the rat IIA α‐subunit causes a 100‐fold increase in sensitivity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reduced alarm response by peach-potato aphids, Myzus persicae (Hemiptera : Aphididae), with knock-down resistance to insecticides (kdr) may impose a fitness cost through increased vulnerability to natural enemies

TL;DR: Overall termite abundance and the abundance of soil-feeders increased between November 1995 and July 1996, reaching a mean of nearly 6000 m -2, which may be due to the beneficial conditioning of soil resulting from the foraging and construction activities of soil -feeders.
