The effects of development and chronic oxidative stress on telomere length in an agricultural pest moth, <i>Helicoverpa armigera</i>
2020-12-15
Abstract excerpt
Telomeres are repetitive sequences located at the end of chromosomes in eukaryotes that protect against loss of important sequences during the cell replication process. Telomere length (TL) shortens with every round of cell division. When a telomere becomes too short, cells can no longer proliferate and this triggers the cell apoptosis process. Apart from cell replication, the length of telomeres can be affected b...
