متن کاملUse of micro-CAT scans to understand cowpea seed resistance to Callosobruchus maculatus
The cowpea bruchid, Callosobruchus maculatus (F.) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Bruchini), is a worldwide pest of stored cowpea grain [ Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp. (Leguminosae)], causing tens of millions of dollars’ worth of damage annually. One method of managing this pest involves planting cultivars whose seeds are resistant to bruchids. Despite extensive research, we still do not know the me...

متن کاملCowpea bruchid midgut transcriptome response to a soybean cystatin--costs and benefits of counter-defence.
The insect digestive system is the first line of defence protecting cells and tissues of the body from a broad spectrum of toxins and antinutritional factors in its food. To gain insight into the nature and breadth of genes involved in adaptation to dietary challenge, a collection of 20 352 cDNAs was prepared from the midgut tissue of cowpea bruchid larvae (Callosobruchus maculatus) fed on regu...
