Open AccessLarval midgut modifications associated with Bti resistance in the yellow fever mosquito using proteomic and transcriptomic approaches
Bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis (Bti) is a natural larval mosquito pathogen producing pore-forming toxins targeting the midgut of Diptera larvae. It is used worldwide for mosquito control. Resistance mech...

Size and organization of a multigene family encoding phaseolin, the major seed storage protein of Phaseolus vulgaris L.
Solution hybridization kinetics and genomic nitrocellulose blot hybridization analyses show that the Phaseolus vulgaris L. (French bean) storage proteins (phaseolins) are encoded as a small, homologous, multigene...
