Abstract excerpt
Cuticle, mainly composed of chitin and cuticular proteins (CPs), is a multifunctional structure of arthropods. CPs usually account for >1% of the total insect proteins. Why does an insect encode so many different CP genes in the genome? In this study, we use comprehensive large-scale technologies to study the full complement of CPs (i.e., the CP-ome) of the brown planthopper (BPH), Nilaparvata lugens, a major...
