Cloning and Functional Analysis of Two Ca²⁺-Binding Proteins (CaBPs) in Response to Cyantraniliprole Exposure in Bemisia tabaci (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae)

Ca2+-binding proteins (CaBPs) are widely distributed as Ca2+ sensor relay proteins that regulate various cellular processes, including Ca2+ homeostasis. Diamide insecticides such as cyantraniliprole kill insects by disrupting the Ca2+ homeostasis in muscle cells. However, less attention has been paid to the roles of CaBPs in response to insecticides. In this study, two CaBP genes (BtCaBP1 and BtCaBP2) were identified in the whitefly, Bemisia...
