Inheritance and fitness costs of field‐evolved resistance to Gpp34/Tpp35Ab1 corn by western corn rootworm, Diabrotica virgifera virgifera (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae)

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Field‐evolved resistance to Gpp34/Tpp35Ab1 corn in two western corn rootworm strains was inherited in a non‐recessive manner and was associated with fitness costs. Abstract BACKGROUND The western corn rootworm, Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte, is among the most serious pests of corn in the United States, and an invasive pest in parts of Europe ...

Magnaporthe Rab5 homologs show distinct functions in nerve growth factor (NGF)-mediated neurite outgrowth and cell differentiation

Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2015
Nerve growth factor (NGF) binds to TrkA and forms a NGF/TrkA complex at the cell surface, which is then internalized into signaling endosomes and promotes neuronal survival and neurite outgrowth.
