Characterization of the insecticide detoxification carboxylesterase <scp><i>Boest1</i></scp> from <scp><i>Bradysia odoriphaga</i> Yang et Zhang</scp> (<scp>Diptera: Sciaridae</scp>)

Abstract

These results suggest that BoEST1 plays a role in the breakdown of insecticides and may be involved in the development of resistance in the Chinese chive pest B. odoriphaga; our findings also provide data for better pest management and perspectives for new pesticides development. © 2021 Society of Chemical Industry.
