Summary: Overexpression of certain genes in the ABCG subfamily is implicated in the resistance of Plutella xylostella to chlorantraniliprole. These findings could provide a foundation for further exploration of the role of ABC transporters in chlorantraniliprole resistance in Plutella xylostella and other insect pests.

Summary: The study identified key proteins involved in chlorantraniliprole resistance in the diamondback moth through comparative proteomics, with PxGST2L playing a crucial role. Knockdown of PxGST2L reduced resistance to chlorantraniliprole, providing insights for developing effective resistance management strategies.

Summary: In this study, a carboxylesterase gene, Px alpha E14, was found to be significantly overexpressed in a field-evolved multiresistant population of the diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella. Px alpha E14 was predominantly expressed in the midgut and malpighian tubule of larvae. Knockdown of Px alpha E14 increased the susceptibility of the larvae to multiple insecticides, while overexpression of Px alpha E14 in fruit flies increased their tolerance to these insecticides. Recombinant Px alpha E14 expressed in Escherichia coli exhibited metabolic activity against multiple insecticides. These findings contribute to our understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying multiresistance in insect pests.

Summary: Laboratory colonies of diamondback moth larvae collected from Georgia and Florida showed significant resistance to chlorantraniliprole and cyantraniliprole. A mutation associated with chlorantraniliprole resistance, G4946E, was found in all colonies while other mutations were not identified.

Summary: The migration of diamondback moth affects its resistance to insecticides. Populations from southern China, where intensive insecticide application occurs, showed higher resistance, while populations migrating from northeastern China, where insecticides are only occasionally used, showed lower resistance.

Summary: Insects pose a significant threat to agricultural crops, resulting in potential losses of up to US$470 billion. Among these pests, Plutella xylostella is a devastating insect that attacks cruciferous vegetables, causing approximately US$4-5 billion in monetary losses worldwide. Understanding the mechanisms of insecticide resistance is crucial for developing effective management strategies.

Summary: Insects are highly successful and diverse, but they pose a significant threat to agriculture, with potential losses of up to US$470 billion. Plutella xylostella, a devastating pest that attacks cruciferous vegetables, alone causes monetary losses of around US$4-5 billion worldwide. Insecticides have protected plants effectively, but their use comes with environmental and mammalian hazards, and insects are developing resistance to them. Understanding the mechanisms behind this resistance is crucial for addressing the issue and improving the effectiveness of insecticides.

Summary: Plutella xylostella is a severe pest that develops resistance to multiple insecticides. In this study, the roles of fifteen ABC genes belonging to the ABCG subfamily in multi-resistance were investigated, and it was found that eleven of these genes can be induced by at least one insecticide. Further experiments showed that ABCG2 and ABCG10 are associated with the resistance to specific insecticides.

Summary: Carboxylesterase (CarE) plays an essential role in detoxification of insecticides. In this study, a CarE gene named Px alpha E8 was identified in Plutella xylostella, which showed increased expression in larvae and adults. Up-regulation of Px alpha E8 was found to be involved in resistance to beta-cypermethrin and phoxim in P. xylostella.

Summary: This study analyzed the genetic mechanisms underlying pesticide resistance in diamondback moths, and identified the CYP6B6-like gene as being involved in the resistance. The study also demonstrated that differential gene expression contributes to the development of resistance. The findings have important implications for the development of effective pest control measures.

Summary: The study demonstrated that overexpression of the Px alpha E8 gene is associated with resistance to multiple insecticides in Plutella xylostella, leading to increased CarE activity and Px alpha E8 expression when exposed to insecticides. Knockdown of Px alpha E8 expression resulted in increased insecticide resistance, while transgenic Drosophila overexpressing Px alpha E8 showed higher tolerance to insecticides.

Summary: Alterations to amino acid residues G4946 and I4790, associated with resistance to diamide insecticides, affect the efficacy of diamides when introduced in combination, suggesting that the interaction sites for diamides on insect RyRs are located near the voltage sensor-like domain of the RyR. Further experiments indicate that specific residues, including K4700, Y4701, I4790 and S4919, play a key role in this interaction.

Summary: This study investigated the resistance mechanism of Plutella xylostella to Bt-G033A combined with chlorantraniliprole. Transcriptomic profiling identified candidate genes involved in detoxification process, including cytochrome P450, glutathione S-transferase (GST), and ABC transporter genes. The study provides comprehensive insights into the functional transcriptome analysis of DBM resistance to Bt-G033A and CL.
