The Transcriptomic Response of the Boll Weevil, Anthonomus grandis grandis Boheman (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), following Exposure to the Organophosphate Insecticide Malathion [PDF]
Insects, 2023 Insecticide tolerance and resistance have evolved countless times in insect systems. Molecular drivers of resistance include mutations in the insecticide target site and/or gene duplication, and increased gene expression of detoxification enzymes.

Boll Weevil Control, 1988 [PDF]
Insecticide and Acaricide Tests, 1989 Abstract The evaluation was conducted at the Cotton Branch Experiment Station, Marianna, Ark. Cotton was planted 12 May in 38-inch rows. Five treatments were replicated 4 times in a randomized complete block design. Plots of 4 rows by 50 ft were placed end-to-end, separated by 2.5-ft alleys and 2 fallow rows.

Nucleases as a barrier to gene silencing in the cotton boll weevil, Anthonomus grandis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 RNA interference (RNAi) approaches have been applied as a biotechnological tool for controlling plant insect pests via selective gene down regulation. However, the inefficiency of RNAi mechanism in insects is associated with several barriers, including ...

Improving Cry8Ka toxin activity towards the cotton boll weevil (
BMC Biotechnology, 2011 Background The cotton boll weevil (Anthonomus grandis) is a serious insect-pest in the Americas, particularly in Brazil. The use of chemical or biological insect control is not effective against the cotton boll weevil because of its endophytic life style.
