Journal ArticleDOI

RNA interference in Lepidoptera: An overview of successful and unsuccessful studies and implications for experimental design

Olle Terenius, +78 more
TL;DR: Despite a large variation in the data, trends that are found are that RNAi is particularly successful in the family Saturniidae and in genes involved in immunity and that gene expression in epidermal tissues seems to be most difficult to silence.
Journal ArticleDOI

Two genomes of highly polyphagous lepidopteran pests (Spodoptera frugiperda, Noctuidae) with different host-plant ranges

Anaïs Gouin, +68 more
- 25 Sep 2017 - 
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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bacillus thuringiensis Cry1Ca-resistant Spodoptera exigua lacks expression of one of four Aminopeptidase N genes

TL;DR: The cloning and expression analysis of four APN cDNAs from Spodoptera exigua are reported, suggesting that the lack of APN1 expression plays a role in the resistance to Cry1Ca in this S.Exigua colony.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic and Biochemical Approach for Characterization of Resistance to Bacillus thuringiensis Toxin Cry1Ac in a Field Population of the Diamondback Moth, Plutella xylostella

TL;DR: Reciprocal genetic crosses between Cry1Ac-reselected and ROTH insects indicated that resistance was autosomal and showed incomplete dominance, which indicates that more than one allele on separate loci was responsible for resistance to Cry1 Ac.
Journal ArticleDOI

ABCC transporters mediate insect resistance to multiple Bt toxins revealed by bulk segregant analysis

TL;DR: The current results show the involvement of different members of the ABCC family in the mode of action of B. thuringiensis proteins and expand the role of theABCC2 transporter in B.Thuringienis resistance beyond the Cry1A family of proteins to include Cry1Ca.
