Sayed A, Nekl E, Siqueira H, Wang H, Ffrench-Constant R, Bagley M, et al.
Insect Mol Biol . 2007 Aug; 16(5):591-600. PMID: 17725800
A cadherin-like gene associated with larval midgut tissues was cloned from western corn rootworm (Diabrotica virgifera virgifera: Coleoptera), an economically important agricultural pest in North America and Europe and the...

Yang G, Dowling A, Gerike U, Ffrench-Constant R, Waterfield N
J Bacteriol . 2006 Mar; 188(6):2254-61. PMID: 16513755
Two recently sequenced genomes of the insect-pathogenic bacterium Photorhabdus and a large Serratia entomophila plasmid, pADAP, have phage-related loci containing putative toxin effector genes, designated the "Photorhabdus virulence cassettes" (PVCs)....

Siegfried B, Waterfield N, Ffrench-Constant R
Insect Mol Biol . 2005 Mar; 14(2):137-43. PMID: 15796746
The Western corn rootworm is the major pest of corn in the USA and has recently become the target for insect-resistant transgenic crops. Transgenic crops have switched the focus for...

Catania F, Kauer M, Daborn P, Yen J, Ffrench-Constant R, Schlotterer C
Mol Ecol . 2004 Jul; 13(8):2491-504. PMID: 15245421
Previous work showed that insecticide resistance in Drosophila melanogaster is correlated with the insertion of an Accord-like element into the 5' region of the cytochrome P450 gene, Cyp6g1. Here, we...

Dowling A, Daborn P, Waterfield N, Wang P, Streuli C, Ffrench-Constant R
Cell Microbiol . 2004 Mar; 6(4):345-53. PMID: 15009026
Photorhabdus bacteria produce a number of toxins to kill their insect hosts. The expression of one of these, Makes caterpillars floppy (Mcf), is sufficient to allow Escherichia coli to persist...

Au C, Dean P, Reynolds S, Ffrench-Constant R
Cell Microbiol . 2003 Dec; 6(1):89-95. PMID: 14678333
Photorhabdus are insect pathogenic bacteria that replicate within the insect haemocoel following release from their entomopathogenic nematode symbionts. To investigate how they escape the cellular immune response we examined the...

Goff G, Boundy S, Daborn P, Yen J, Sofer L, Lind R, et al.
Insect Biochem Mol Biol . 2003 Jun; 33(7):701-8. PMID: 12826097
Insecticide resistance in laboratory selected Drosophila strains has been associated with upregulation of a range of different cytochrome P450s, however in recent field isolates of D. melanogaster resistance to DDT...

Med Vet Entomol . 2003 Jan; 16(4):452-5. PMID: 12510900
We are interested in generating a Y-autosome translocation of the Resistance to dieldrin (Rdl) locus in the malaria vector mosquito Anopheles stephensi Liston (Diptera: Culicidae), for use in sterile insect...

Daborn P, Yen J, Bogwitz M, Goff G, Feil E, Jeffers S, et al.
Science . 2002 Sep; 297(5590):2253-6. PMID: 12351787
Insecticide resistance is one of the most widespread genetic changes caused by human activity, but we still understand little about the origins and spread of resistant alleles in global populations...

Photorhabdus luminescens, a bacterium with alternate pathogenic and symbiotic phases of its lifestyle, represents a source of novel genes associated with both virulence and symbiosis. This entomopathogen lives in a...
