Target Receptors in the Control of Insect Pests: Part II

An interdisciplinary review of major target receptors in prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms, with emphasis on insects

Contains comprehensive inter disciplinary reviews on basic and practical aspects relevant to major target receptors that are involved in crucial physiological functions and mechanisms in prokartiotic and eukaryotic organisms, with emphasis on insects.This volume of Advances in Insect Physiology contains comprehensive interdisciplinary reviews on basic and practical aspects relevant to major target receptors for crucial physiological functions and mechanisms in prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms, particularly insects. Chapters emphasize advanced genomic, molecular biology, chemical, and proteomic research on the receptors and their corresponding agonist and antagonist ligands. The book encompasses target systems such as sodium channels, octopamine/tyramine receptors, ABC transporters, acetylcholinesterase as a target enzyme, juvenile hormone receptors, and receptors targeted by neuropeptides.
