Characterization of UDP-Glucuronosyltransferases and the Potential Contribution to Nicotine Tolerance in <i>Myzus persicae</i>

Uridine diphosphate (UDP)-glycosyltransferases (UGTs) are major phase II detoxification enzymes involved in glycosylation of lipophilic endobiotics and xenobiotics, including phytoalexins. Nicotine, one of the most abundant secondary plant metabolites in tobacco, is highly toxic to herbivorous insec...
