Downregulation of BmSTAT transcription factor promoted nucleopolyhedrovirus replication in Bombyx mori

Frontiers in Microbiology
The Janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK/STAT) signaling pathway plays a crucial role in the viral immune processes of organisms, with STAT being a key transcription factor downstream in this pathway. The STAT gene of Bombyx

Resistance to BmNPV via overexpression of an exogenous gene controlled by an inducible promoter and enhancer in transgenic silkworm, Bombyx mori.

PLoS ONE, 2012
The hycu-ep32 gene of Hyphantria cunea NPV can inhibit Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) multiplication in co-infected cells, but it is not known whether the overexpression of the hycu-ep32 gene has an antiviral effect in the silkworm, Bombyx mori.

Baculovirus LEF-11 Hijack Host ATPase ATAD3A to Promote Virus Multiplication in Bombyx mori cells

Scientific Reports, 2017
Research on molecular mechanisms that viruses use to regulate the host apparatus is important in virus infection control and antiviral therapy exploration. Our previous research showed that the Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) LEF-11 localized to

Insights on the nutritional ecology of a nocturnal pollinating insect

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Nutritional ecology examines the environmental effects on nutritional needs, food intake and foraging behaviors, and the use of nutrients ingested by animals. Among insects, Lepidoptera are often considered opportunistic foragers that visit a wide variety of available flowers, although with some preferences.
