Identification of detoxification genes in imidacloprid-resistant Asian citrus psyllid (Hemiptera: Lividae) and their expression patterns under stress of eight insecticides.

Overexpressed detoxification genes were associated with imidacloprid resistance, as confirmed by RNA interference feeding tests. The induction of the six selected genes when exposed to different insecticides supported the hypothesis that they were involved in the metabolism of the tested insecticides. © 2018 Society of Chemical Industry.
