Development of Diagnostic Tools for Detecting Expression of Resistance-Associated Esterases in the Tobacco Budworm, Heliothis virescens(F.)
Esterase-based metabolic resistance was studied using biochemical and biological assays with organophosphate (OP)- and pyrethroid (PYR)- resistant tobacco budworms, Heliothis virescens. In biochemical assays, results suggest that: (1) esterase activities toward all substrates used were enhanced in...
