Characterization and functional analysis of <scp> <i>Spodoptera litura</i> </scp> galectins
Our findings revealed that Slgalectin-4 and -7 may serve as PRRs to bind different pathogens and alter expression of immune effector genes such as antimicrobial peptide genes, eventually modulating immune responses of S. litura larvae to pathogens such as B. thuringiensis and M. rileyi. © 2025 Society of Chemical Industry.
