Rapid evolution and genetic basis of spinetoram resistance in Phthorimaea absoluta : evidence from six years of monitoring and laboratory selection

Teófilo P. Langa, Vitor Quintela Sousa, Marcos de Oliveira, Herbert A.A. Siqueira

Short summary

Phthorimaea absoluta populations in Brazil have rapidly evolved high resistance to spinetoram (resistance ratio ≈ 1145), primarily due to a major recessive genetic factor, with metabolic detoxification playing a partial role.
