Resequencing of Nilaparvata lugens related to imidacloprid resistance

Under field selection of imidacloprid, the alleles that confer adaptive advantages such as imidacloprid resistance and fitness improvement, along with their linked neighboring regions, are likely to have a significant higher frequency in the resistant individuals than in the susceptible individuals. To find out these genomic regions, we sequenced the genomes of the two pooled high-resistant individuals and two pooled low-resistant individuals.
