Characterization of four midgut aminopeptidase N isozymes from Ostrinia furnacalis strains with different susceptibilities to Bacillus thuringiensis (2013)
Journal Article
Xu, L., Wang, Z., Zhang, J., Ferry, N., Edwards, M., Gatehouse, A., & He, K. (2014). Characterization of four midgut aminopeptidase N isozymes from Ostrinia furnacalis strains with different susceptibilities to Bacillus thuringiensis. Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, 115, 95-98. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jip.2013.11.001

The full-length cDNA of four Ofapn aminopeptidases were cloned and sequenced from susceptible and resistant Ostrinia furnacalis strains. Four sequences were identified as APN because they shared the common structural features with APN from Lepidopter...

A proteomic approach to study the mechanism of tolerance to Bt toxins in Ostrinia furnacalis larvae selected for resistance to Cry1Ab (2013)
Journal Article
Xu, L., Ferry, N., Wang, Z., Zhang, J., Edwards, M. G., Gatehouse, A. M., & He, K. A proteomic approach to study the mechanism of tolerance to Bt toxins in Ostrinia furnacalis larvae selected for resistance to Cry1Ab. Transgenic Research, 22, 1155–1166. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11248-013-9718-3

A Cry1Ab-resistant population of Asian corn borer (ACB-AbR) exhibiting approximately 100 times greater resistance to activated Cry1Ab than a susceptible population (Ostrinia furnacalis; ACB-BtS), was previously shown to exhibit high levels of cross-r...
