Molecular Cloning and Characterization of Five Glutathione S-Transferase Genes and Promoters from <i>Micromelalopha troglodyta</i> (Graeser) (Lepidoptera: Notodontidae) and Their Response to Tannic Acid Stress
Plants accumulate phenolic compounds such as tannic acid to resist insect herbivores. The survival of insects exposed to toxic secondary metabolites depends on the detoxification metabolism mediated by limited groups of glutathione S-transferases (GSTs). <i>Micromelalopha troglodyta</i>...
