The role of glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) in insecticide resistance in crop pests and disease vectors

•GSTs confer resistance by metabolizing or sequestering insecticides or by protecting against oxidative stress caused by insecticides.•The role of BdGSTe2, BdGSTe4 and AfGSTe2 in resistance has recently been validated by RNAi.•TuGSTd05, BmGSTu2 and AfGSTe2 have recently been shown to metabolize inse...
