(a) Numbers of detoxification-related and chemosensory-related genes in the genomes of eight selected insects. *Herbivorous insects. UGT, UDP glycosyltransferases; CCE, carboxyl/choline esterases; GST, glutathione S-transferase; ABC, ATP-binding cassette; GR, gustatory receptor; OR, odorant receptor; IR, ionotropic receptor; OBP, odorant-binding protein. (b) The phylogenetic relationship of the different UGT families. Family members in red are from L. migratoria and those in black are from other insects. Nodes with >70% bootstrap support (100 replicates) are indicated in orange circles. UGTs are named after the standard UGT nomenclature guide. For clarity, we show only a selected number of representatives from the UGT families because of the large number of UGT families identified.
