Neonicotinoids (NEOs), a large class of organic compounds, are a type of commonly used pesticide for crop protection. Their uptake and accumulation in plants are prerequisites for their intra- and intercellular movements, transformation, and function. Understanding the molecular mechanisms that underpin NEOs uptake by plants is crucial for effective application, which remains elusive. Herein, we demonstrated that NEOs enter plant cells primarily through the transmembrane symplastic pathway and accumulate mainly in the cytosol...
