Zinc interaction point in insect ? Interaction point in membrane protein? Interaction point on body of insect? Please add answers and good reference?
Dear Bipin,
I am working in a project with inorganic elements in reproductive organs of some Hemipteran pests. In my review, I have found some works that could help you in this especific topic. Therefore, see these references:
