Article Synopsis
- - The cotton bollworm, Helicoverpa armigera, has developed resistance to various insecticides, particularly pyrethroids, making it a significant global pest following its spread to South America and North America.
- - A key resistance mechanism involves a chimeric cytochrome P450 gene known as CYP337B3, which has multiple alleles and is prevalent globally, including in South America.
- - The presence of similar alleles in Brazil and Asia suggests that the resistance could have originated from Asian populations, potentially explaining H. armigera's introduction into the Americas.
