Functional Study of Cytochrome P450 Enzymes from the Brown Planthopper ( Stål) to Analyze Its Adaptation to BPH-Resistant Rice.

Plant-insect interactions constitute a complex of system, whereby plants synthesize toxic compounds as the main defense strategy to combat herbivore assault, and insects deploy detoxification systems to cope with toxic plant compounds. Cytochrom P450s are among the main detoxification enzymes employed by insects to combat the chemical defenses of host plants. In this study, we used (BPH) to constitute an ideal system for studying plant-insect interactions.
