Journal ArticleDOI
The genetic architecture of a host shift: An adaptive walk protected an aphid and its endosymbiont from plant chemical defenses.

Zimmer,Kyriaki Maria Papapostolou,Emma Randall,Bettina Lueke,František Marec,Emanuele Mazzoni,Martin S. Williamson,Alexander Hayward,Ralf Nauen,John Vontas,John Vontas,Chris Bass +19 more
TL;DR: An adaptive walk underpinning the host shift of the aphid Myzus persicae to tobacco is characterized, including evolution of mechanisms that overcame tobacco chemical defenses and reveals the intricate processes by which genetic novelty can arise and drive the evolution of key innovations required for ecological adaptation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Insecticide resistance status of Myzus persicae in Greece: long-term surveys and new diagnostics for resistance mechanisms.
Costas Ch. Voudouris,Amalia N. Kati,Eldem Sadikoglou,Martin S. Williamson,Panagiotis J. Skouras,Ourania C. Dimotsiou,Stella Georgiou,Brian Fenton,George Skavdis,John T. Margaritopoulos +9 more
TL;DR: The aphid retains costly resistance mechanisms even in the absence of pressure from certain insecticides, which could be attributed to factors related to climate and genetic properties of the populations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development of multiplex real-time PCR assays for identification of members of the Anopheles funestus species group.
Samuel B. Vezenegho,Chris Bass,Mirel Puinean,Martin S. Williamson,Linda M. Field,Maureen Coetzee,Lizette L. Koekemoer +6 more
TL;DR: The TaqMan assay very effectively identified all five members of the An.
Journal ArticleDOI
New methods for the detection of insecticide resistant Myzus persicae in the U.K. suction trap network
TL;DR: Anstead et al. as discussed by the authors proposed a new method for the detection of insecticide resistant Myzus persicae in the U.K. suction trap network, which can detect the presence of the insect in the trap.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chlorpyrifos resistance is associated with mutation and amplification of the acetylcholinesterase-1 gene in the tomato red spider mite, Tetranychus evansi.
Renato F de Carvalho,Yihua Yang,Linda M. Field,Kevin Gorman,Graham D. Moores,Graham D. Moores,Martin S. Williamson,Chris Bass +7 more
TL;DR: The enhanced copy number of the ace-1 gene in T. evansi and copy number variation of the two alleles seen in the Malawi strain may be a mechanism to compensate for fitness costs associated with the mutant alleles as has been proposed for T. urticae.
