Target Receptors in the Control of Insect Pests: Part II (Volume 46) (Advances in Insect Physiology, Volume 46)

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.* Contains important, comprehensive and in-depth reviews * An essential reference source for invertebrate physiologists and neurobiologists, entomologists, zoologists, and insect biochemists * First published in 1963, this serial is ranked second in the highly competitive ISI category of Entomology Content: Copyright Page iv Contributors Pages vii-viii Preface Pages ix-x Ephraim Cohen Chapter One - ABC Transporters and Their Role in Protecting Insects from Pesticides and Their Metabolites Pages 1-72 Hans Merzendorfer Chapter Two - Molecular Signalling, Pharmacology, and Physiology of Octopamine and Tyramine Receptors as Potential Insect Pest Control Targets Pages 73-166 Hiroto Ohta, Yoshihisa Ozoe Chapter Three - Receptors for Neuronal or Endocrine Signalling Molecules as Potential Targets for the Control of Insect Pests Pages 167-303 Heleen Verlinden, Rut Vleugels, Sven Zels, Senne Dillen, Cynthia Lenaerts, Katleen Crabbé, Jornt Spit, Jozef Vanden Broeck Chapter Four - The Juvenile Hormone Receptor and Molecular Mechanisms of Juvenile Hormone Action Pages 305-388 Edward B.
