This project investigates insect resistance to pesticides by studying cytochrome P450 enzymes. It aims to identify molecular changes that confer resistance and develop tools for managing pesticide resistance in agricultural practices.
Insect resistance to synthetic insecticides and the anti-herbivore defence chemicals produced by many plants is an ongoing challenge to sustainable pest management while also an exceptional model system to study adaptive evolution.
The cytochrome P450s are a superfamily of enzymes that are ubiquitous in nature, and one of the most important enzyme families used by insects to defend themselves against natural and synthetic xenobiotics.
Insects have been shown to evolve resistance through quantita…
