The role of G protein‐coupled receptor‐related genes in cytochrome P450‐mediated resistance of the house fly, Musca domestica (Diptera: Muscidae), to imidacloprid

Ninety‐four putative G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) were identified in the Musca domestica genome. They were annotated and compared with their homologues in Drosophila melanogaster . Phylogenetic analyses of the GPCRs from both species revealed that several family members shared a closer relationship based on the domain architecture. The expression profiles of these genes were examined by quantitative real‐time PCR amongst three strains of...
