Pyrethroid resistance associated with M918 L mutation and detoxifying metabolism in Aphis gossypii from Bt cotton growing regions of China.

The mutation M918 L in the voltage-gated sodium channel along with detoxifying metabolism was contributed to the pyrethroid resistance in the field populations of Aphis gossypii from cotton growing regions of China. And insecticides with different modes of action should be recommended for the control of A. gossypii in the future. © 2017 Society of Chemical Industry.
