<scp>V101I</scp> and <scp>R81T</scp> mutations in the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor β1 subunit are associated with neonicotinoid resistance in <i>Myzus persicae</i>

Abstract

The V101I mutation is associated with neonicotinoid resistance in M. persicae. The resistance of the AH19-T and AH19-I strains to neonicotinoids appears to be mainly due to the R81T and V101I mutations, whereas these mutations, together with changes in the cytochrome P450 monooxygenases and nAChR expression may be responsible for the development of neonicotinoid resistance in the AH19-TI strain. © 2021 Society of Chemical Industry.
