Background: The rice stem borer, Chilo suppressalis Walker (Lepidoptera: Crambidae), is a damaging pest of rice worldwide. Following the evolution of C. suppressalis resistance to diamide and abamectin insecticides, emamectin benzoate (EB) became a key insecticide for the control of this species in China.

Background: Laodelphax striatellus (Fallén) is an important pest of crops in East Asia. Over the past decade, phenylpyrazole insecticides, which target the insect GABA receptor, have increasingly been used as alternatives against rice planthoppers.

Results: Cross-resistance to ethiprole and butene-fipronil was detected in a laboratory-selected fipronil-resistant strain of L.

Article Synopsis
  • The rice stem borer (Chilo suppressalis) is a major pest affecting rice crops in Asia, and chemical pesticides are the primary method for managing this pest.
  • There are significant variations in resistance levels to different insecticides among field populations, with one population (YY14) showing moderate resistance to two specific insecticides.
  • A mutation in the ryanodine receptor gene (G4910E) in the resistant population suggests a genetic basis for this resistance, highlighting the need for effective insecticide resistance management strategies.

Background: Glutamate-gated chloride channels (GluCl) mediate fast inhibitory neurotransmission in invertebrate nervous systems. Although only one GluCl gene was presented in insects, it showed diverse alternative splicing that was speculated could affect channel function and pharmacology.

Results: In this study, we isolated GluCl cDNAs from adults of the small brown planthopper (SBPH) Laodelphax striatellus and showed that six L.

Background: The point mutation at codon 200 (TTC→TAC, F200Y) of the β -tubulin gene confers resistance to benzimidazole fungicide in Fusarium asiaticum. These isolates with this mutation have been detected mainly by determining the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of fungicides, which is always time consuming, tedious and inefficient.

Results: A visual, rapid and efficient method with high specificity was developed, based on loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP).
