Abstract:Background
The western corn rootworm, Diabrotica virgifera virgifera, is a pervasive pest of cultivated maize in North America and Europe, which has adapted to survive exposure to multiple insecticidal agents. Due to their role in insecticide transport, we sought to identify members of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter family in D. v. virgifera using a transcriptomics approach.
Results
In this study, 65 putative D. v. virgifera ABC (DvvABC) transporters were identified within a combined transcripto… Show more
