An insecticide target in mechanoreceptor neurons
Science Advances, 2022 Hundreds of neurotoxic insecticides are currently in use. However, only a few direct targets have been identified. Here, using Drosophila and the insecticide flonicamid, we identified nicotinamidase (Naam) as a previous unidentified molecular target for ...

Epitranscriptomic regulation of insecticide resistance
Science Advances, 2021 A cytochrome P450 that confers insecticide resistance in whitefly is regulated by an epitranscriptomic mechanism. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most prevalent messenger RNA modification in eukaryotes and an important posttranscriptional regulator of ...
