Monochamus alternatus Hope is a serious pest management concern in stands of pines. Diflubenzuron is an insect growth inhibitor, which acts by disrupting chitin formation and deposition, affecting the cutidle and the molting process. As DFB causes a reduction in chitin content, the insect ultimately dies bevause of abortive molting. In order to understand how M. alternatus reacts toxicologically to DFB, transcriptional profilling of M. alternatus larvae exposed to a sublethal dose of DFB was monitored using a specific 60-mer oligonucleotide microarray derived from a cDNA library.
