Fig. 2From: Plant-mediated RNAi silences midgut-expressed genes in congeneric lepidopteran insects in natureAlignments of M. sexta cDNA regions selected to generate PMRi lines with M. quinquemaculata homologs. a M. sexta CYP6B46 fragment cloned to generate inverted-repeat (ir) CYP6B46 showed 98.1% sequence similarity with M. quinquemaculata CYP6B46 and (b) M. sexta BG1 fragment cloned to generate irBG1 showed 96% similarity with M. quinquemaculata BG1. Identical homologous regions of >21 nt were identified in the alignment of M. sexta CYP6B46 and BG1 cDNA regions selected to generate PMRi lines with that of M. quinquemaculata CYP6B46 and BG1, respectivelyBack to article page
