A Toll7‐1‐Spätzle7‐1 pathway in <scp> <i>Spodoptera litura</i> </scp> against <scp> <i>Bacillus thuringiensis</i> </scp>
We demonstrate that the Toll7-1-Spz7-1 pathway in S. litura is critical for defense against B. thuringiensis. Our findings also provide evolutionary insights into the diversification of mcc- and scc-Tolls/TLRs. © 2026 Society of Chemical Industry.
