Metabolic resistance to emamectin benzoate mediated by CYP4C175 and its dual regulatory functions in development and reproduction of Megalurothrips usitatus.
BACKGROUND Cowpea is a vital vegetable crop in tropical regions, but the Megalurothrips usitatus causes severe yield losses. Emamectin benzoate is widely used for control; however, resistance has emerged and the molecular basis remains unclear. RESULTS This investigation demonstrates through bioassay analysis that fi...
