Early events in the evolution of spider silk genes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Silk spinning is essential to spider ecology and has had a key role in the expansive diversification of spiders. Silk is composed primarily of proteins called spidroins, which are encoded by a multi-gene family. Spidroins have been studied extensively in

ROLE OF INSECT GROWTH REGULATORS (IGRs) FOR COTTON LEAFWORM; Spodoptera Littoralis BOISD. AND CONSERVING TO SOME PREDATORS IN SUGAR BEET FIELDS [PDF]
Journal of Plant Protection and Pathology, 2014 The cotton leafworm, Spodoptera littoralis Boisd. is considered the most dangerous insect pest which threat the early sugar beet plantations. Because the conventional insecticides lead to much hazards to natural enemies, it has been important
