Enhanced hydrolysis of β-cypermethrin caused by deletions in the glycin-rich region of carboxylesterase 001G from Helicoverpa armigera.

The data show that deletion mutations can cause qualitative change in the capacity of CarEs in the detoxification of β-cypermethrin. This indicates that deletion mutations in the glycine-rich region may have the potential to cause synthesized pyrethroid (SP) resistance in H. armigera in the future. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry.
