Identification and transcriptional response of ATP‐binding cassette transporters to chlorantraniliprole in the rice striped stem borer, Chilo suppressalis

BACKGROUND As the largest transporter gene family in metazoans, ATP‐binding cassette (ABC) transporters regulate the efflux of a broad spectrum of substrates from the cytoplasm to the outside of the cell. In arthropods, ABC transporters are involved in phase III of the detoxification process, and play important roles in the metabolism and transport of insecticides. RESULTS We identified 54 ABC transporters from the genome and transcriptome of...
