Molecular Mechanisms Governing the Differential Regulation of Cysteine Proteases in Insect Adaptation to a Soybean Protease Inhibitor
Under challenge by a dietary soybean cysteine protease inhibitor (scN), cowpea bruchids overcome the inhibitory effects by reconfiguring the expression profiles of their major digestive enzymes, the cathepsin L-like cysteine proteases (CmCPs). In addition, cowpea bruchids activate transcription of t...
