TY - JOUR AU - Prajapati, Vinod Kumar AU - Varma, Mahendra AU - Vadassery, Jyothilakshmi PY - 2020 DA - 2020/11/23 TI - In silico identification of effector proteins from generalist herbivore Spodoptera litura JO - BMC Genomics SP - 819 VL - 21 IS - 1 AB - The common cutworm, Spodoptera litura Fabricius is a leaf and fruit feeding generalist insect of the order Lepidoptera and a destructive agriculture pest. The broad host range of the herbivore is due to its ability to downregulate plant defense across different plants. The identity of Spodoptera litura released effectors that downregulate plant defense are largely unknown. The current study aims to identify genes encoding effector proteins from salivary glands of S. litura (Fab.).
