Sublethal exposure to phosphine decreases offspring production in strongly phosphine resistant female red flour beetles, Tribolium castaneum (Herbst). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The red flour beetle is a cosmopolitan pest of stored grain and stored grain products. The pest has developed resistance to phosphine, the primary chemical used for its control.

Short Exposures to Phosphine Trigger Differential Gene Expression in Phosphine-Susceptible and -Resistant Strains of <i>Tribolium castaneum</i>. [PDF]
Genes (Basel)Background/Objectives: Phosphine resistance in insects involves a complex interplay of genetic and physiological factors, which are often poorly understood. Resistance to high concentrations of phosphine worldwide poses a formidable challenge for stored-product pest management and affects global food security.

The rph1 gene is a common contributor to the evolution of phosphine resistance in independent field isolates of Rhyzopertha dominica. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Phosphine is the only economically viable fumigant for routine control of insect pests of stored food products, but its continued use is now threatened by the world-wide emergence of high-level resistance in key pest species.

Mechanisms of Phosphine Toxicity
Journal of Toxicology, 2011 Fumigation with phosphine gas is by far the most widely used treatment for the protection of stored grain against insect pests. The development of high-level resistance in insects now threatens its continued use.
