Abstract excerpt
The Spodoptera litura sterol carrier protein x (SlSCPx) gene is expressed in various tissues throughout the life cycle and plays important role in sterol absorption and transport. In this study, the effects of insect hormones (20-hydroexcdysone and juvenile hormone) and lipids (arachidonic acid, cholesterol) on the expression of SlSCPx was analysed by reverse-transcriptase PCR. The results showed that none of...
