Overexpressing <scp><i>CrSMT</i></scp> disrupts the growth and development of herbivorous insects by changing the composition of sterols in cotton
The results of functional and molecular mechanism analyses of CrSMT overexpression in cotton indicate that CrSMT transgenesis is a promising broad-spectrum and eco-friendly insect-resistance strategy that can alter the sterol content of plant tissues without adverse effects on plants. © 2025 Society of Chemical Industry.
