INSECTICIDE EXPOSURE AFFECTS INTERGENERATIONAL PATTERNS OF DNA METHYLATION IN THE COLORADO POTATO BEETLE, LEPTINOTARSA DECEMLINEATA

Insecticide exposure affects intergenerational patterns of DNA methylation in the Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata

Abstract Insecticide use is pervasive as a selective force in modern agroecosystems.Insect herbivores exposed to these insecticides have been able to rapidly evolve resistance to them, but how they are able to do so is poorly understood.One possible but largely unexplored explanation is that exposure to sublethal doses of insecticides may alter epi

Human ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter family

Abstract There exist four fundamentally different classes of membrane-bound transport proteins: ion channels; transporters; aquaporins; and ATP-powered pumps.ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters are an example of ATP-dependent pumps.ABC transporters are ubiquitous membrane-bound proteins, N/A present in all prokaryotes, as well as plants, fungi,
