The molecular basis of metabolic resistance to pyrethroids in Helicoverpa armigera is currently under debate. Substantial indirect evidence supports a role for both esterase- and cytochrome-P450-mediated metabolism. However, the relative roles played by these two mechanisms in field-based resistance is uncertain. Our understanding of the importance of P450-mediated metabolism is hindered by the paucity of cloned genes from this species, and the corresponding absence of data on rates of… CONTINUE READING
