Teese M, Farnsworth C, Li Y, Coppin C, Devonshire A, Scott C, et al.
PLoS One . 2013 Jun; 8(6):e65951. PMID: 23799064
Esterases have recurrently been implicated in insecticide resistance in Helicoverpa armigera but little is known about the underlying molecular mechanisms. We used a baculovirus system to express 14 of 30...

Coppin C, Jackson C, Sutherland T, Hart P, Devonshire A, Russell R, et al.
Insect Biochem Mol Biol . 2012 Feb; 42(5):343-52. PMID: 22300675
Esterases have been implicated in metabolic resistance to synthetic pyrethroids in several insect species but little is yet known of the molecular basis for these effects. In this work modern...

Gunning R, Moores G, Jewess P, Boyes A, Devonshire A, Khambay B
Pest Manag Sci . 2007 May; 63(6):569-75. PMID: 17469082
It has been reported previously that the major resistance mechanism to pyrethroid insecticides by the cotton bollworm Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner) in Australia is a consequence of overproduction of esterase isoenzymes....

Oakeshott J, Devonshire A, Claudianos C, Sutherland T, Horne I, Campbell P, et al.
Chem Biol Interact . 2005 Nov; 157-158:269-75. PMID: 16289012
Mutant insect carboxyl/cholinesterases underlie over 60 cases of resistance to organophosphorus and/or carbamate insecticides. Biochemical and molecular data on about 20 of these show recurrent use of a very small...

Heidari R, Devonshire A, Campbell B, Dorrian S, Oakeshott J, Russell R
Insect Biochem Mol Biol . 2005 Apr; 35(6):597-609. PMID: 15857765
The cloned genes encoding carboxylesterase E3 in the blowfly Lucilia cuprina and its orthologue in Drosophila melanogaster were expressed in Sf9 cells transfected with recombinant baculovirus. Resistance of L. cuprina...

Foster S, Harrington R, Dewar A, Denholm I, Devonshire A
Pest Manag Sci . 2002 Sep; 58(9):895-907. PMID: 12233179
Advances in understanding insecticide resistance in the peach-potato aphid, Myzus persicae (Sulzer), at the genotypic, biochemical and molecular levels have led to rapid and precise methods for the detection of...

Foster S, Denholm I, Devonshire A
Pest Manag Sci . 2002 Aug; 58(8):811-6. PMID: 12192906
A range of insecticides was applied at recommended application rates against populations of Myzus persicae (Sulzer) carrying various combinations of three insecticide resistance mechanisms (carboxylesterase-based metabolic resistance and two target-site...

Jewess P, Chamberlain K, Boogaard A, Devonshire A, Khambay B
Pest Manag Sci . 2002 Apr; 58(3):243-7. PMID: 11975169
The insecticidal and in vitro activities of four homologous series of 2-hydroxy and acetoxy-3-substituted-1,4-naphthoquinones have been measured and correlated with their (Log) octanol/water partition coefficients (Log Ko/w). In vitro activity...
