Expression and functional analysis of ace1 and ace2 reveal their differential roles in larval growth and insecticide sensitivity in Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E. Smith, 1797)
Abstract:Acetylcholinesterase (AChE, EC3.1.1.7) is a key enzyme in neuronal signal transduction that hydrolyzes the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh). The toxicological and physiological functions of AChEs in the destructive pest Spodoptera frugiperda, however, are still exclusive. In the present study, two acetylcholinesterase genes, ace1 and ace2, were characterized from S. frugiperda transcriptome and genome. Spatial−temporal expression analysis indicated that both Sfruace1 and Sfruace2 had an enriched expression… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
