Overexpression of UDP‐glycosyltransferase potentially involved in insecticide resistance in <i>Aphis gossypii</i> Glover collected from Bt cotton fields in China

Abstract

These results suggested that UGTs are potentially involved in the detoxification of neonicotinoid, sulfoximine, and pyrethroid insecticides in A. gossypii. Furthermore, the overexpression of UGTs could be associated with insecticide resistance in field populations of A. gossypii. The results might be helpful for the management of insecticide resistance in field populations of A. gossypii. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry.
