The genome of the coffee bean weevil (Araecerus fasciculatus) reveals a cytochrome P450 repertoire as a convergent candidate mechanism of insect-origin caffeine detoxification

LAURA V. MARTINEZ APONTE, Alfredo Rodriguez Ruiz, Sean A. Locke…·Alex R. Van Dam

This paper presents the first functionally annotated genome of the coffee bean weevil, identifying a unique insect-encoded P450 detoxification pathway for caffeine, distinct from bacterial mechanisms.
