220
TL;DR: A comparative study of two lepidopteran UGTs as well as other insects reveal a diversity comparable to this gene family in vertebrates, plants and fungi and shows the magnitude of the task ahead, to determine biochemical function and physiological relevance of each UGT enzyme.

Xenobiotic detoxification pathways in honey bees
May R. Berenbaum,Reed M. Johnson +1 more
TL;DR: The western honey bee Apis mellifera has a deficit of detoxification genes spanning Phase I (functionalization), II (conjugation) and III (excretion) gene families, which may render them vulnerable to synergistic interactions among xenobiotics.

TL;DR: Signs of positive selection in genes involved in chemoreception, detoxification and digestion, and copy number variation in the two latter gene families are found, suggesting an adaptive role for structural variation.

Honey constituents up-regulate detoxification and immunity genes in the western honey bee Apis mellifera
TL;DR: It is determined that constituents found in honey, including p-coumaric acid, pinocembrin, and pinobanksin 5-methyl ether, specifically induce detoxification genes, which compromise the ability of honey bees to cope with pesticides and pathogens and contribute to colony losses.

TL;DR: Amplification and functional divergence of genes associated with specialized feeding on plants, including genes originally obtained via horizontal gene transfer from fungi and bacteria, contributed to the addition, expansion, and enhancement of the metabolic repertoire of the Asian longhorned beetle and to a lesser degree, other phytophagous insects.
