Overexpression of two α‐esterase genes mediates metabolic resistance to malathion in the oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel)

Esterase has been reported to be involved in malathion resistance in the oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel). However, the underlying molecular mechanism of the esterase‐mediated resistance remains largely unknown in this species. Here, with the use of a strain selected for malathion re...
