Development of a lateral flow test to detect metabolic resistance in Bemisia tabaci mediated by CYP6CM1, a cytochrome P450 with broad spectrum catalytic efficiency

- CYP6CM1 is shown to confer broad insecticide cross-resistance in B. tabaci.
- Hydroxylation of pyriproxyfen confirmed after functional expression of CYP6CM1.
- An ELISA was developed to reliably detect CYP6CM1 protein in individual insects.
- A field test kit to detect CYP6CM1-based insecticide resistance was developed.
- A lateral flow assay using disposable strips supports IRM measures in the field.
