Identification of chemosensory receptor genes in Manduca sexta and knockdown by RNA interference

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Insects detect environmental chemicals via a large and rapidly evolving family of chemosensory receptor proteins. Although our understanding of the molecular genetic basis for Drosophila chemoreception has increased enormously in the...
