Resistance characterization and potential resistance mechanism of cyromazine, a moulting disruptor, to Drosophila melanogaster.
BACKGROUND Moulting is a crucial process in the growth and development of insects and is also a key focus in the development of insecticides. Cyromazine, a moulting disruptor, is widely used to control dipteran pests, yet its mechanism of action and the genetic basis of resistance remain unclear. This study aimed to sy...
