Diatraea saccharalis is a major corn borer pest. Midgut serine proteinases are essential for insect growth and development. Alteration of midgut proteinases is re- sponsible for Bt resistance development in some speci...
Thellungiella salsuginea (formerly T. halophila), a species closely related to Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thali-ana), is tolerant not only to high salt levels, but also to chilling, freezing, and ozone. Here, we rep...
