Cross-resistance, biochemical mechanism and fitness costs of laboratory-selected resistance to pyridalyl in diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella

Pyridalyl belongs to one novel type of insecticides with uncertain mode of action, and it showed significant efficacy against Plutella xylostella, which has been considered as one notorious insect pest in the world. To characterize pyridalyl resistance in P. xylostella, one susceptible strain XY-PS and one laboratory-selected pyridalyl-resistant strain XY-PR (34.4-fold) were used to establish cross-resistance patterns, and no cross-resistance to...
