초록

The glutathione-S-transferases (GSTs) are enzymes responsible for the protection of cells from chemical toxicants and oxidative stress. In insects, GSTs have been particularly known to be implicated in the resistance to insecticides. In this study, a cDNA encoding the GST gene homologue was isolated from the cDNA library of the mole cricket, Gryllotalpa orientalis. (omitted)
