In a study that could transform agricultural pest management, researchers have uncovered the robust insect resistance mechanisms of Solanum habrochaites, a wild tomato species.

Some resistant insects apparently have changes in their cuticle ... The mechanisms of resistances include several metabolic enzymes and target site mutations, reduced penetration and increased ...

Insect populations can evolve to resist the insecticides ... detected in an aphid sample collected from oilseed rape (November 2021). Equivalent to metabolic-based resistance (Nic-R+), it is the first ...

In addition to TGIP, studies have explored how immune priming affects the metabolic processes ... such as the gut of an insect, and can influence health and disease resistance.

Their findings were published in the journal Insects. Although there is no ... producing enzymes that detoxify the insecticides (metabolic resistance) or developing thicker outer layers to block ...

However, the ever-increasing problems of insecticides such as insect resistance, lack of availability of new active ingredients and off-target effects on beneficial insects and the environment mean ...

In a study that could transform agricultural pest management, researchers have uncovered the robust insect resistance mechanisms of Solanum ...

Understanding these mechanisms can have implications for pest management and the effects of climate change on insect populations[1]. Another important topic is the study of resistance mechanisms ...
