Horizontal Transfer of Microbial Toxin Genes to Gall Midge Genomes. [PDF]
A growing body of evidence points to a role for horizontal gene transfer (HGT) in the evolution of animal novelties. Previously, we discovered the horizontal transfer of the gene encoding the eukaryotic genotoxin cytolethal distending toxin B (CdtB) from

Study on Transcriptional Responses and Identification of Ribosomal Protein Genes for Potential Resistance against Brown Planthopper and Gall Midge Pests in Rice. [PDF]
Background Our previous studies have revealed the roles of ribosomal protein (RP) genes in the abiotic stress responses of rice. Methods In the current investigation, we examine the possible involvement of these genes in insect stress responses.
