SUMMARY The present invention relates to identifying compounds for controlling nematodes, insects and other invertebrate pests. In particular, the invention relates to the isolation and cloning of polynucleotide molecules encoding nematode 5-HT 3 receptor. This receptor can be used in assays to identify and / or evaluate candidate nematicides, insecticidal and other pesticidal compounds. The polynucleotide molecule, particularly, SEQ ID NO: 1-6 either or encoding 5-HT 3 receptor subunits invertebrates consisting of a nucleotide sequence showing a high homology than 75% for all of the nucleotide sequences described I do. |
