List of the different classes of transcripts coding for antimicrobial proteins retrieved from S. exigua transcriptome [21] and expressed in larval midgut.

aBlastp search performed on August 2014.bNo unigenes with homology to pre-pro-protein x-tox including a complete ORF were found. Complete ORF was retrieved by assembling the six unigenes with Seqman software (Lasergene, DNASTAR Inc.).cC-LYZ3 cluster includes only one unigene that does not contain a complete ORF. Searches with Blastn tools retrieved a complementary sequence (GenBank acc. nr. GAFU01015304) that was further assembled with the c-LYZ3 sequence of the present work to obtain a consensus sequence containing a full-length ORF. The existence of the full length transcript was confirmed by PCR and sequencing.List of the different classes of transcripts coding for antimicrobial proteins retrieved from S. exigua transcriptome [21] and expressed in larval midgut.
