The sweet taste receptors in the cotton bollworm (Helicoverpa armigera) are evolved to adapt towards the larval and adult foods with different types and amounts of sugar.
The cell membrane receptors of juvenile hormone, CAD96CA and FGFR1, regulate the genomic effects of juvenile hormone by phosphorylating intracellular receptor.
The natural volatile component DMNT protects plants from insect attacks by damaging peritropic matrix barriers in insect midguts, paving a promising way for the molecular breeding of plant protection.
