Abstract:A cDNA clone with 78% amino acid identity to a basic juvenile hormone (JH)-suppressible hemolymph protein from the cabbage looper, Trichoplusia ni, was isolated from the tobacco budworm, Heliothis virescens. This clone was obtained upon screening a cDNA library derived from larval fat body of a pesticide resistant strain of H. virescens with a cDNA probe for Drosophila melanogaster glutathione S-transferase. By comparison with other insect storage proteins, this clone was predicted to be part of an approximate… Show more
