Functional analysis of a downregulated guanylate kinase gene associated with the mechanism of action of 6‐methylcoumarin against the whitefly <i>Bemisia tabaci</i>
This study elucidates the insecticidal mechanism of 6-methylcoumarin, which involves the inhibition of GUK transcription and disruption of Ca<sup>2+</sup> homeostasis. These findings suggest that 6-methylcoumarin may be a promising environmentally friendly candidate for B. tabaci control. © 2025 Society of Chemical Industry.
