Cellulolytic systems in insects
H Watanabe, G Tokuda - Annual review of entomology, 2010 - annualreviews.org
Despite the presence of many carbohydrolytic activities in insects, their cellulolytic
mechanisms are poorly understood. Whereas cellulase genes are absent from the genomes …

Multiple lateral gene transfers and duplications have promoted plant parasitism ability in nematodes
Lateral gene transfer from prokaryotes to animals is poorly understood, and the scarce
documented examples generally concern genes of uncharacterized role in the receiver …

Horizontal gene transfer contributes to the evolution of arthropod herbivory
Within animals, evolutionary transition toward herbivory is severely limited by the hostile
characteristics of plants. Arthropods have nonetheless counteracted many nutritional and …
