Mahalle R, Mota-Sanchez D, Pittendrigh B, Kim Y, Seong K
Insects . 2024 Apr; 15(4). PMID: 38667368
Utilizing chemical agents in pest management in modern agricultural practices has been the predominant approach since the advent of synthetic insecticides. However, insecticide resistance is an emerging issue, as pest...

Mahalle R, Sun W, Posos-Parra O, Jung S, Mota-Sanchez D, Pittendrigh B, et al.
Sci Rep . 2024 Feb; 14(1):4308. PMID: 38383681
The fall armyworm (FAW) Spodoptera frugiperda is a severe economic pest of multiple crops globally. Control of this pest is often achieved using insecticides; however, over time, S. frugiperda has...

Kim S, Seong K, Lee S
Insect Mol Biol . 2023 May; 32(4):450-459. PMID: 37130064
Similar to other insects, honey bees have two acetylcholinesterases (AChEs), AmAChE1 and AmAChE2. The primary catalytic enzyme for acetylcholine (ACh) hydrolysis in synapses is AmAChE2, which is predominantly expressed in...

Zhang C, Seong K, Sun W, Mittapalli O, Qiu B, Clark J, et al.
Pestic Biochem Physiol . 2020 Dec; 171:104727. PMID: 33357549
Insecticide resistance is an ongoing challenge in agriculture and disease vector control. Here, we demonstrate a novel strategy to attenuate resistance. We used genomics tools to target fundamental energy-associated pathways...

Seong K, Coates B, Pittendrigh B
Sci Rep . 2020 Sep; 10(1):14394. PMID: 32873850
The role of miRNAs in mediating insecticide resistance remains largely unknown, even for the model species Drosophila melanogaster. Building on prior research, this study used microinjection of synthetic miR-310s mimics...

Abdu-Allah G, Seong K, Mittapalli O, Ojo J, Sun W, Posos-Parra O, et al.
PLoS One . 2020 Aug; 15(8):e0237986. PMID: 32841282
Insects experience a diversity of subtoxic and/or toxic xenobiotics through exposure to pesticides and, in the case of herbivorous insects, through plant defensive compounds in their diets. Many insects are...

Huang J, Sun W, Seong K, Mittapalli O, Ojo J, Coates B, et al.
Pestic Biochem Physiol . 2020 Jul; 168:104631. PMID: 32711765
Herbivorous insects encounter a variety of toxic environmental substances ranging from ingested plant defensive compounds to human-introduced insecticidal agents. Dietary antioxidants are known to reduce the negative physiological impacts of...

Pestic Biochem Physiol . 2020 May; 165:104552. PMID: 32359537
The fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, is predominantly found in overripe, rotten, fermenting, or decaying fruits and is constantly exposed to chemical stressors such as acetic acid, ethanol, and 2-phenylethanol. D....

Seong K, Mittapalli O, Clark J, Pittendrigh B
Pestic Biochem Physiol . 2019 Nov; 161:86-94. PMID: 31685201
While insecticide resistance presents a challenge for those intent on controlling insect populations, these challenges have also generated a set of tools that can be used to ask fundamental biological...

Pestic Biochem Physiol . 2019 Aug; 159:136-143. PMID: 31400775
Cytochrome P450s are part of a super-gene family that has undergone gene duplication, divergence, over-expression and, in some cases, loss of function. One such case is the 91-R and 91-C...
