Constitutive overexpression of ATP-binding cassette transporters contributes to emamectin benzoate resistance in Spodoptera frugiperda
Key Points
Resistance to emamectin benzoate increases significantly with overexpressed ATP-binding cassette transporters, contributing to pest survival.
Testing revealed a resistance factor increased by over 5 times compared to non-modified individuals under field conditions.
Observational analysis of genetic modifications in Spodoptera frugiperda highlights the role of ATP-binding cassette transporters in resistance mechanisms.
This finding underscores the need for integrated pest management strategies that account for genetic resistance in agricultural practices.
