Analysis of the expression pattern of the defensin gene in the lepidopteran Mamestra brassicae

Southern blotting experiments performed on Mamestra brassicae genomic DNA after digestion with methylation-sensitive restriction enzymes indicated that defensin gene is methylated at CpG targets in the promoter region. However, defensin gene is actively transcribed despite the presence of methylati...
