Pectinmethylesterase from the rice weevil, Sitophilus oryzae: cDNA isolation and sequencing, genetic origin, and expression of the recombinant enzyme

Shen, Zhicheng; Pappan, Kirk; Mutti, Navdeep S.; He, Qi-Jiong; Denton, Michael; Zhang, Yu; Kanost, Michael R.; Reese, John C.; Reeck, Gerald R. (2008-05-30)

A cDNA clone encoding pectinmethylesterase of the rice weevil, Sitophilus oryzae (L.) has been isolated and sequenced. The cDNA clone was expressed in cultured insect cells and active pectinmethylesterase was purified from ...
Polymorphisms in salivary-gland transcripts of Russian wheat aphid biotypes 1 and 2

Cui, Feng; Smith, C. Michael; Reese, John C.; Edwards, Owain; Reeck, Gerald R. (2012-10-01)

The Russian wheat aphid (RWA), Diuraphis noxia (Mordvilko) (Homoptera: Aphididae), is a major pest of small grains. As with plant-feeding aphids in general, the interaction between RWA and host plants is governed, on the ...
Wheat Mds-1 encodes a heat-shock protein and governs susceptibility towards the Hessian fly gall midge

Liu, Xuming; Khajuria, Chitvan; Li, Jiarui; Trick, Harold N.; Huang, Li; Gill, Bikram S.; Reeck, Gerald R.; Antony, Ginny; White, Frank F.; Chen, Ming-Shun (2013-10-24)

Gall midges induce formation of host nutritive cells and alter plant metabolism to utilize host resources. Here we show that the gene Mayetiola destructor susceptibility-1 (Mds-1) on wheat chromosome 3AS encodes a small ...
