Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Cotton bollworm (Helicoverpa armigera) and oriental tobacco budworm (Helicoverpa assulta) are noctuid sibling species. Under artificial manipulation, they can mate and produce fertile offspring. As serious agricultural insect pests, cotton bollworms are euryphagous insects, but oriental tobacco budworms are oligophagous insects. To identify the differentially expressed genes that affect host...
