Insecticide Resistance Dynamics and Gene Screening in Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) Under Varying Selection Pressures
TL;DR
A theoretical basis for determining insecticide application intervals to prevent resistance development and to maintain or reduce resistance levels in pest management is provided and contributes to a comprehensive understanding of pest resistance mechanisms.
Abstract
Simple Summary Despite extensive monitoring data on pest resistance, no specific insecticide application intervals have been proposed to mitigate the development of resistance in agricultural production practices. Research on the relationship between the development of insecticide resistance in oriental fruit flies and the frequency of chemical insecticide use has been poorly reported. This paper provides a theoretical basis for determining insecticide application intervals to prevent resistance development and to maintain or reduce resistance levels in pest management. SSH libraries were constructed, and cDNA technology was used to screen for differentially expressed genes and resistance-related genes. This study plays a role in advancing the theoretical progress in this domain, but also lays the groundwork for further exploration of the molecular mechanisms behind resistance in oriental fruit flies, providing assistance for the sustainable management of pests. It further contributes to a comprehensive understanding of pest resistance mechanisms, aiding in the development of effective control strategies. These findings offer crucial theoretical support and scientific evidence for future research and practical applications.
