Insect Resistance and Genetics

Insect Resistance and Genetics is a research topic within Molecular Biology. Science Explorer counts 41k research works in it since 1950. 10.0% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.

This cluster of papers explores the molecular mechanisms and evolutionary ecology of insect resistance to synthetic and natural xenobiotics, with a focus on Bacillus thuringiensis toxins, RNA interference, P450 enzymes, and the environmental impact of transgenic crops. It covers topics such as mode of action, plant-insect interactions, and the development of insecticide resistance in agricultural pests.
