The burden of neonicotinoid insecticides (neonics) in humans has attracted widespread
attention in recent years due to the potential adverse effects. Nonetheless, information on …

Background Seed-applied neonicotinoids are widely used in agriculture, yet their effects on
non-target species remain incompletely understood. One important group of non-target …

The use of pesticide seed treatments containing neonicotinoid insecticides is widespread in
large-scale row crop agriculture. Recently, use of pesticide seed treatments has come under …

The pond wolf spider Pardosa pseudoannulata, an important natural predatory enemy of
rice planthoppers, is found widely distributed in paddy fields. However, data on the genes …

The insect nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) is a pentameric channel protein and
also a target for neonicotinoids. There are few reported studies on the molecular interactions …

Acetylcholine binding proteins (AChBPs) are homologs of extracellular domains of nicotinic
acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) and serve as models for studies on nAChRs. Particularly …

Invertebrates possess a diverse collection of pentameric Cys-loop ligand gated ion channel
(LGIC) receptors whose molecular structures, evolution and relationships to mammalian …

Abstract Integrated Pest Management (IPM) requires an understanding of the interaction
between chemical and biological control tactics. In recent decades, seed treatment with …

Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) mediate fast cholinergic synaptic transmission in
the insect nervous system. Neonicotinoid group insecticides target these receptors, causing …
