Identification of Carboxylesterase Genes and Function of Three Inducible α-Esterase Genes Involved in Insecticidal Activity of α-Solanine in Phthorimaea operculella
25 Jul 2025
Abstract excerpt
Carboxylesterases (CarEs) play an important role in the detoxification of exogenous toxic compounds in insects. However, the effect of Phthorimaea operculella CarEs (PoCarEs) on the insecticidal activity of α-solanine, a potato-derived secondary metabolite, remains unclear. In this study, we identified 96 PoCarEs. Phylogenetic analysis demonstrated that PoCarEs could be classified into nine clades, with an...
