Coordinated P450–UGT detoxification contributes to furanocoumarin tolerance associated with host plant range divergence in Helicoverpa

Plants and herbivorous insects are engaged in a continuous evolutionary arms race driven by chemical defences and counter-defences. How insects integrate distinct detoxification systems to overcome diverse phytochemicals, and how such mechanisms contribute to host-range divergence, remains poorly understood. Here, we u...
