  • NOVEL INSECTICIDAL TOXIN RECEPTORS AND METHODS OF USE
    Publication number: 20230193403
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to insecticidal toxin resistance management and screening of novel insecticidal toxin receptors for insect resistance. One embodiment relates to the isolation, characterization, compositions, and methods of use relating to polynucleotides encoding novel insecticidal toxin receptors and the polypeptides encoded thereby. The polynucleotides and polypeptides are useful in identifying or designing insect pest management strategies.
