Yao J, Buschman L, Lu N, Khajuria C, Zhu K
Toxins (Basel) . 2014 Apr; 6(4):1274-94. PMID: 24704690
We developed a microarray based on 2895 unique transcripts assembled from 15,000 cDNA sequences from the European corn borer (Ostrinia nubilalis) larval gut. This microarray was used to monitor gene...

Khajuria C, Wang H, Liu X, Wheeler S, Reese J, El Bouhssini M, et al.
BMC Genomics . 2013 Jun; 14:423. PMID: 23800119
Background: Wheat - Hessian fly interaction follows a typical gene-for-gene model. Hessian fly larvae die in wheat plants carrying an effective resistance gene, or thrive in susceptible plants that carry...

Liu X, Khajuria C, Li J, Trick H, Huang L, Gill B, et al.
Nat Commun . 2013 Jun; 4:2070. PMID: 23792912
Gall midges induce formation of host nutritive cells and alter plant metabolism to utilize host resources. Here we show that the gene Mayetiola destructor susceptibility-1 on wheat chromosome 3AS encodes...

Khajuria C, Williams C, El Bouhssini M, Whitworth R, Richards S, Stuart J, et al.
BMC Genomics . 2013 Mar; 14:187. PMID: 23496979
Background: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that play critical roles in regulating post transcriptional gene expression. Gall midges encompass a large group of insects that are of economic importance...

Yao J, Buschman L, Oppert B, Khajuria C, Zhu K
PLoS One . 2012 Sep; 7(8):e44090. PMID: 22952884
Serine proteases, such as trypsin and chymotrypsin, are the primary digestive enzymes in lepidopteran larvae, and are also involved in Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) protoxin activation and protoxin/toxin degradation. We isolated...

Zhu L, Liu X, Wang H, Khajuria C, Reese J, Whitworth R, et al.
Mol Plant Microbe Interact . 2012 Jun; 25(7):920-30. PMID: 22668001
Hessian fly (HF) is a biotrophic insect that interacts with wheat on a gene-for-gene basis. We profiled changes in membrane lipids in two isogenic wheat lines: a susceptible line and...

Khajuria C, Buschman L, Chen M, Siegfried B, Zhu K
PLoS One . 2011 Sep; 6(8):e23983. PMID: 21887358
Studies to understand the Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) resistance mechanism in European corn borer (ECB, Ostrinia nubilalis) suggest that resistance may be due to changes in the midgut-specific Bt toxin receptor....

Khajuria C, Buschman L, Chen M, Zurek L, Zhu K
J Insect Physiol . 2010 Dec; 57(3):345-55. PMID: 21167833
Six cDNAs encoding putative antibacterial response proteins were identified and characterized from the larval gut of the European corn borer (Ostrinia nubilalis). These antibacterial response proteins include four peptidoglycan recognition...

Khajuria C, Buschman L, Chen M, Muthukrishnan S, Zhu K
Insect Biochem Mol Biol . 2010 Jun; 40(8):621-9. PMID: 20542114
Chitinases belong to a large and diverse family of hydrolytic enzymes that break down glycosidic bonds of chitin. However, very little is known about the function of chitinase genes in...

Khajuria C, Zhu Y, Chen M, Buschman L, Higgins R, Yao J, et al.
BMC Genomics . 2009 Jun; 10:286. PMID: 19558725
Background: Lepidoptera represents more than 160,000 insect species which include some of the most devastating pests of crops, forests, and stored products. However, the genomic information on lepidopteran insects is...
