Transcriptomic analysis of strain-specific and gender-specific response of silkworm to BmNPV infection

Invertebrate Survival Journal, 2021
Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) is one of the main pathogens causing serious economic losses in sericulture. However, the molecular mechanism of silkworm resistance to BmNPV is still largely unclear, and the differences in the anti-BmNPV ...

Global Metabolic Profiling of Baculovirus Infection in Silkworm Hemolymph Shows the Importance of Amino-Acid Metabolism

Viruses, 2021
Viruses rely on host cell metabolism to provide the necessary energy and biosynthetic precursors for successful viral replication. Infection of the silkworm, Bombyx mori, by Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV), has been studied extensively in the ...

Patterns in Genotype Composition of Indian Isolates of the Bombyx mori Nucleopolyhedrovirus and Bombyx mori Bidensovirus

Viruses, 2021
The mulberry silkworm, Bombyx mori (L.), is a model organism of lepidopteran insects with high economic importance. The viral diseases of the silkworm caused by Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) and Bombyx mori bidensovirus (BmBDV) inflict huge ...

Differential susceptibilities to BmNPV infection of two cell lines derived from the same silkworm ovarian tissues. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
We previously established and characterized two insect cell lines (BmN-SWU1 and BmN-SWU2) from Bombyx mori ovaries. Here, we examined their differential susceptibilities to Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) despite having originated from the same ...

CRISPR/Cpf1 multiplex genome editing system increases silkworm tolerance to BmNPV [PDF]

International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, 2022
The CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing technology is now widely used in insect studies, but the use of CRISPR can be further increased to improve insect genome engineering. We established a direct mutation at multiple loci in several genes simultaneously used by CRISPR/Cpf1 multiplex genome editing technology to target the BmNPV genome.

lncR26319/miR‐2834/EndophilinA axis regulates oogenesis of the silkworm, Bombyx mori

Insect Science, Volume 30, Issue 1, Page 65-80, February 2023., 2023
Vitellogenesis, the timely production and uptake of yolk proteins, is essential for female fecundity. In the silkworm, Bombyx mori, a nucleus‐enriched long‐noncoding RNA (lncRNA) lncR26319 regulates Endophilin A (EndoA), a member of the endophilin protein family of endocytosis, by competitively binding to miR‐2834.

The distribution of covert microbial natural enemies of a globally invasive crop pest, fall armyworm, in Africa: Enemy release and spillover events

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 91, Issue 9, Page 1826-1841, September 2022., 2022
The infection of the invasive fall armyworm, with a natural enemy from its native range and novel pathogens from its new range, has important consequences for understanding the population ecology of invasive species and virus–insect interactions. The authors show that temporal and geographic factors are also important in understanding the distribution ...

Bacterial pigments: A colorful palette reservoir for biotechnological applications

Biotechnology and Applied Biochemistry, Volume 69, Issue 3, Page 981-1001, June 2022., 2022
Abstract Synthetic derivatives are currently used instead of pigments in many applicative fields, from food to feed, from pharmaceutical to diagnostic, from agronomy to industry. Progress in organic chemistry allowed to obtain rather cheap compounds covering the whole color spectrum. However, several concerns arise from this chemical approach, as it is

Promising Prodiginins Biological Activities. [PDF]

Chem Biodivers
ABSTRACT Prodiginins are a large family of at least 34 pyrrolic compounds, including the well‐studied red pigment prodigiosin. Prodiginins are produced by several microorganisms displaying broad biological activities, including antimicrobial, antiviral, antiparasitic, antiproliferative, and immunosuppressive activities.

Comparative Transcriptome Analysis of Bombyx mori (Lepidoptera) Larval Midgut Response to BmNPV in Susceptible and Near-Isogenic Resistant Strains. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) is one of the primary pathogens causing severe economic losses in sericulture. However, the molecular mechanism of silkworm resistance to BmNPV remains largely unknown.
