Sequence variants of and gene regions in (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) adults treated with the novel characterızed (Caryophyllaceae) extract.

In this study, various doses of plant extracts that obtained from was applied to an important storage pest adults. is an endemic species and spreads on the Hasan Mountain above Karkın town (Turkey, Aksaray province). The plant species was collected from June to July with the field study to be carried out in this region. Obtained extract of plant was analyzed by gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS) method. The doses were defined during the study and the concentrations that kill 50% the population were determined after applications. After 24 h, DNA was isolated from live and dead individuals that obtained from LC and LC concentration applications and analyzed for Cytochrome P450-mediated detoxification resistance genes, and gene regions, by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). CYP genes in insects are known to be rapidly regulated when exposed to insecticides. In the study, in order to screen for 206 bp and 353 bp fragments of and genes in adults were amplified using specific primers, respectively. DNA direct sequencing was performed on each template using the forward primer. When compared to the control, it is believed that mutation differences in live and dead individuals according to the sequencing results obtained from survival and dead adults, may allow these genes to play a protective role against the toxic effect of extract.
