The genetic architecture of resistance to flubendiamide insecticide in Helicoverpa armigera (Hubner).

ABSTRACT: Insecticide resistance is a major problem in food production, environmental sustainability, and human health. The cotton bollworm Helicoverpa armigera is a globally distributed crop pest affecting over 300 crop species. H. armigera has rapidly evolved insecticide resistance, making it one of the most damaging pests worldwide. Understanding the genetic basis of insecticide resistance provides insights to develop tools, such as molecular markers, that can be used to slow or prevent the evolution of resistance. We explore the genetic architecture of H. armigera resistance to a widely used insecticide, flubendiamide, using two complementary approaches: genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in wild-caught samples and quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping in a controlled cross of susceptible a
