Detoxification by glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) and esterases are important
mechanisms associated with insecticide resistance. Discovery of novel GST and esterase …

Insecticide synergists biochemically inhibit insect metabolic enzyme activity and are used
both to increase the effectiveness of insecticides and as a diagnostic tool for resistance …

Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are important detoxification enzymes in insects. This
study examined the inhibitory effects of five insecticides (beta-cypermethrin, fenpropathrin …

BACKGROUND: Conventional in vitro assays sometimes fail to reveal esterase inhibition by
piperonyl butoxide (PBO), although synergism studies suggest loss of esterase-mediated …

Phytochemicals are toxic to insects, but their insecticidal efficiencies are usually low
compared to synthetic insecticides. Understanding the mechanism of insect adaptation to …

BACKGROUND It has been demonstrated previously that cis‐jasmone acts as an elicitor of
plant defence mechanism (s) by inducing secondary metabolism. It has also been …

Glyphodes pyloalis Walker is a destructive pest on mulberry trees and poses a significant
threat to the sericultural industry in China. Phoxim and chlorfenapyr are two commonly used …

Polyphagous insect herbivores encounter numerous toxins (xenobiotics) as they pass
through their life cycle; some toxins are produced naturally by the host plants …

Plant-derived compounds are sources of biopesticides for the control of insect pests. We
compared the growth performance and enzymatic response of the grasshopper Calliptamus …

Publisher Summary Plants are efficient producers of chemical compounds that are used in
defense against herbivore attack. Botanical compounds have been used in several parts of …
