Journal ArticleDOI
The evolution of insecticide resistance in the peach–potato aphid, Myzus persicae
Chris Bass,Alin M. Puinean,Christoph T. Zimmer,Ian Denholm,Linda M. Field,Stephen P. Foster,Oliver Gutbrod,Ralf Nauen,Russell Slater,Martin S. Williamson +9 more
TL;DR: The peach potato aphid, Myzus persicae, is a globally distributed crop pest with a host range of over 400 species including many economically important crop plants as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mutation of a nicotinic acetylcholine receptor β subunit is associated with resistance to neonicotinoid insecticides in the aphid Myzus persicae
Chris Bass,Alin M. Puinean,Melanie Andrews,Penny Cutler,Miriam Daniels,Jan Elias,Verity Laura Paul,Andrew J. Crossthwaite,Ian Denholm,Linda M. Field,Stephen P. Foster,Rob Lind,Martin S. Williamson,Russell Slater +13 more
TL;DR: This study finds a single point mutation in the loop D region of the nAChR β1 subunit of the resistant clone of M. persicae, causing an arginine to threonine substitution (R81T) and provides further validation of exisiting models of neonicotinoid binding and selectivity for insect nA ChRs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Resistance to diamide insecticides in diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae) is associated with a mutation in the membrane-spanning domain of the ryanodine receptor.
Bartek J. Troczka,Christoph T. Zimmer,Jan Elias,Corinna Schorn,Chris Bass,T.G. Emyr Davies,Linda M. Field,Martin S. Williamson,Russell Slater,Ralf Nauen +9 more
TL;DR: A region of the gene encoding the proposed diamide binding site of the RyR from P. xylostella strongly suggests a causal association with diamide resistance, and designed a pyrosequencing-based diagnostic assay for resistance monitoring purposes that can be used to detect the G4946E mutation in field-collected samples of diamondback moth.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cross‐resistance relationships between neonicotinoids and pymetrozine in Bemisia tabaci (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae)
Kevin Gorman,Russell Slater,James D. Blande,Alison Clarke,Jodie Wren,Alan McCaffery,Ian Denholm +6 more
TL;DR: Cross-resistance between neonicotinoids and pymetrozine in B. tabaci probably reflects the overexpression of a cytochrome-P450-dependent monooxygenase capable of metabolising both types of compound in spite of their apparent structural dissimilarity.
