Changes in gene expression in the larval gut of Ostrinia nubilalis in response to Bacillus thuringiensis Cry1Ab protoxin ingestion

Yao, Jianxiu; Buschman, Lawrent L.; Lu, Nanyan; Khajuria, Chitvan; Zhu, Kun Yan (2014-05-09)

We developed a microarray based on 2895 unique transcripts assembled from 15,000 cDNA sequences from the European corn borer (Ostrinia nubilalis) larval gut. This microarray was used to monitor gene expression in early ...
A novel Tenebrio molitor cadherin is a functional receptor for Bacillus thuringiensis cry3aa toxin

Fabrick, Jeff; Oppert, Chris; Lorenzen, Marce D.; Morris, Kaley; Oppert, Brenda; Jurat-Fuentes, Juan Luis (2009-11-20)

Cry toxins produced by the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) are effective biological insecticides. Cadherin-like proteins have been reported as functional Cry1A toxin receptors in Lepidoptera. Here we present data ...
Transcriptome profiling of the intoxication response of Tenebrio molitor larvae to Bacillus thuringiensis Cry3Aa protoxin

Oppert, Brenda; Dowd, Scot E.; Bouffard, Pascal; Li, Lewyn; Conesa, Ana; Lorenzen, Marce´ D.; Toutges, Michelle; Marshall, Jeremy; Huestis, Diana L.; Fabrick, Jeff; Oppert, Cris; Jurat- Fuentes, Juan Luis (2012-07-24)

Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) crystal (Cry) proteins are effective against a select number of insect pests, but improvements are needed to increase efficacy and decrease time to mortality for coleopteran pests. To gain ...
