Mutations of acetylcholinesterase which confer insecticide resistance in Drosophila melanogaster populations

BACKGROUND: Organophosphate and carbamate insecticides irreversibly inhibit acetylcholinesterase causing death of insects. Resistance-modified acetylcholinesterases(AChEs) have been described in many insect species and sequencing of their genes allowed several point mutations to be described. Howeve...
