Identification and Characterization of Sex-Biased MicroRNAs in Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel)

PLOS ONE, 2016
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of endogenous small non-coding RNAs that regulate various biological processes including sexual dimorphism. The oriental fruit fly Bactrocera dorsalis is one of the most destructive agricultural insect pests in many Asian countries.

Ecdysis triggering hormone signaling (ETH/ETHR-A) is required for the larva-larva Ecdysis in Bactrocera dorsalis (Diptera: Tephritidae) [PDF]

, 2017
Insects must undergo ecdysis for successful development and growth, and the ecdysis triggering hormone (ETH), released by the Inka cells, is a master hormone in this process. In this study, we determined the sequence of the ETH precursor and receptors in

Classical Olfactory Conditioning in the Oriental Fruit Fly, Bactrocera dorsalis

PLOS ONE, 2015
The oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis, is a serious pest of fruits and vegetables. Methyl eugenol (ME), a male attractant, is used to against this fly by mass trapping. Control effect may be influenced by learning, which could modify the olfactory response of the fly to this attractant.
