Comparative transcriptome profiling of two pesticides, Acephate and Chlorantraniliprole in non-targeted insect model, Drosophila melanogaster

Acephate and chlorantraniliprole are two insecticides widely used in agricultural applications. Several studies were focused on the mode of action and related biological and cellular level expressions. However, the sub-lethal dose and related molecular expression level of acephate and chlorantraniliprole have not been evaluated or studied to the same degree. In this study, we investigated the sub-lethal toxicity of acephate and chlorantraniliprole in Drosophila melanogaster. The EC
