Isolation of CarE genes from the Chinese white pine beetle Dendroctonus armandi (Curculionidae: Scolytinae) and their response to host chemical defense.

Bark beetles rely on detoxifying enzymes to resist the defensive terpenoids of their host trees. Research on carboxylesterases (CarEs) has focused on their multiple functions in the metabolic detoxification of pesticides and plant allelochemicals， drug resistance， and juvenile hormone and pheromone degradation.
