However, little research has been done on GRs in lepidopteran pests. In the current work with <i>Spodoptera litura</i>, an important worldwide crop's pest, a candidate fructose GR gene (<i>SlitGR8</i>) was cloned in full length, and its spatial and temporal expression profiles were determined by qu ...[more]
