Article Synopsis
- The tomato leafminer (Tuta absoluta) has developed resistance to many insecticides, prompting researchers to analyze its genome for underlying resistance mechanisms.
- A study focused on Spanish T. absoluta strains resistant to the diamide insecticide chlorantraniliprole found that resistance is linked to a major overexpression of a gene encoding a UDP-glycosyltransferase (UGT) rather than known target-site mutations.
- The research provides valuable genomic resources and insights into resistance mechanisms, aiding the development of sustainable pest management strategies.
Background: The protection of European oilseed rape (OSR) from damaging insects relies on pyrethroid insecticides, but the development of resistance in key coleopteran pests such as the pollen beetle (Brassicogethes aeneus) and the cabbage stem flea beetle (Psylliodes chrysocephala) has resulted in reduced effectiveness of these insecticides. The sodium channel gene mutation L1014F knock-down resistance (kdr) is a contributing factor in resistance to pyrethroids in B. aeneus and P.

Insecticides are often required for the effective control of this species, among which the neonicotinoid class have been particularly widely used. Deciphering the mechanisms responsible for resistance to these chemicals is therefore critical to maintain control of B.
