Phenotypic responses and potential genetic mechanism of lepidopteran insects under exposure to graphene oxide

Clarification of the interactions between engineered nanomaterials and multiple generations of insects is crucial to understanding the impact of nanotechnology on the environment and agriculture, particularly in toxicity management, pest management and genetic engineering. To date, there has been ve...
