If you have searched in every source you know, but don?t give us any
idea of what they are, you make it difficult for us to respond. Some
people say that and have not even tried either google or their
reference librarian. So... first, try google, and your reference
librarian. In particular, there are specialized databases available
that univ libraries usually subscribe to for searching such things.
I?d use BIOSIS in this case, but you need to use whatever your univ
has.

You can also try scirus or google scholar online, but they are not as
through as BIOSIS. You can try Medline; it's coverage is often
surprisingly broad. It's there and free, so use it.

Don't be too surprised if it is not known. In that case, if helpful,
you can give examples from a couple of other organisms to illustrate
the idea.
