The use of chemical pesticides to control insects causes environmental damages. To avoid these damages, plants have been transformed in order to express proteins that act through the insect gut, thus becoming resistant to insects (Alstad & Andow, Science268: 1894-1896, 1995). The development of new transgenic plants needs a more sophisticated understanding of insect midgut physiology than…
