Molecular Targets of Neurotoxic Insecticides in Apis mellifera
Cloning of the honeybee genes encoding ion channels targeted by neurotoxic insecticides and their functional reconstitution in heterologous expression system allow the assessment of the different insecticide classes including pyrethroids and neonicotinoids. Elucidation of their mode of action, by combining electrophysiology and molecular docking, might
