Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on SfruOBPs, proteins in insects associated with resistance to insecticides, revealing that these proteins can play a crucial role in a pest's ability to withstand multiple treatments.
- Researchers identified 50 specific SfruOBPs and found one particularly noteworthy protein that increases its expression when exposed to several insecticides.
- Despite this protein's ability to bind to insecticides, knocking it down did not harm larval development but made the larvae more susceptible to insecticide exposure, suggesting it could be a promising target for pest control strategies.
The green peach aphid, , is a worldwide agricultural pest. Chlorpyrifos has been widely used to control for decades, thus leading to a high resistance to chlorpyrifos. Recent studies have found that insect odorant binding proteins (OBPs) play essential roles in insecticide resistance.

However, functional evidence supporting the crosslink between CSP and insecticide resistance remains unexplored. In the present study, 22 SfruCSP transcripts were identified from the fall armyworm (FAW) and SfruCSP1 and SfruCSP2 are enriched in the larval cuticle and could be induced by multiple insecticides.

However, the non-responsiveness levels in field populations to ME is unknown. In this study, we monitored the response to ME in field populations from the four most heavily infested provinces in China, and the results showed that the populations had lower sensitivity to ME relative to GZS susceptible strain.
