Molecular basis of the explosive defence response in the bombardier beetle Brachinus crepitans

Bombardier beetles have evolved a sophisticated and unique chemical defence mechanism involving controlled explosions within their paired defensive glands, producing a hot, benzoquinone-rich defensive spray. The molecular basis of this response is not well characterized. We therefore combined the tr...
