and biological stresses; however, little attention has been devoted to the functional
characterization of SODs in whitefly. In this study, an intracellular copper/zinc superoxide
dismutase of whitefly (Bemisia tabaci)(Bt‐CuZnSOD) was cloned. Sequence analysis
indicated that the full length cDNA of Bt‐CuZnSOD is of 907 bp with a 471 bp open reading
frame encoding 157 amino acids. The deduced amino acid sequence shares common …
