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.
- ABC Transporters and Their Role in Protecting Insects from Pesticides and Their Metabolites
- Molecular Signaling, Pharmacology, and Physiology of Octopamine and Tyramine Receptors as Potential Insect Pest Control Targets
- Receptors for Neuronal or Endocrine Signaling Molecules as Potential Targets for the Control of Insect Pests
- The Juvenile Hormone Receptor and Molecular Mechanisms of Juvenile Hormone Action
- Voltage-Gated Sodium Channels as Insecticide Targets
- Insect Acetylcholinesterase as a Target for Effective and Environmentally-Safe Insecticides Yuan-Ping Pang
