Cocaine is produced by coca plants as a chemical defense to deter feeding by insects. It has been shown that cocaine sprayed on tomato leaves reduces insect feeding, causes abnormal behaviors at low doses and kills feeding insects at doses equivalent to that in coca leaves [Nathanson, J.A., Hunnicutt, E.J., Kantham, L., Scavone, C., 1993.

A cadherin-like protein present in the midgut epithelial cells of Lepidoptera is associated with insect resistance to Bacillus thuringiensis Cry toxins. We describe for the first time the genes that encode the cadherin-like proteins in Ostrinia nubilalis, Helicoverpa armigera, and Bombyx mori, and analyze their organization. These genes encompass 19.6 kb, 20.0 kb, and 41.8 kb of genomic DNA, respectively,...
