Novel insights into plant defensin ingestion induced metabolic responses in the polyphagous insect pest Helicoverpa armigera
Abstract Lepidopteran insect pest Helicoverpa armigera is one of the most destructive pests of crop plants and several biotechnological approaches are being developed for its control. Plant defensins are small cationic and cysteine-rich peptides that play a role in plant defense. Ingestion of a defe...
