| Description | 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. |
