Silencing of juvenile hormone‐related genes through RNA interference leads to molt failure and high mortality in the spongy moth

Insect Science, EarlyView.
The feasibility of using RNA interference to control the globally important quarantine pest, the spongy moth. Targeting genes related to JHs play an important role in the growth and development of insects. First, the open reading frames (ORFs) of Ldjhamt and Ldjheh were identified and characterized, and the target genes were cloned and double‐stranded ...

Nanoindentation tests of Sulcata Tortoise’s carapace

IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2018
This paper illustrates the dependence of tortoise carapace's hardness and elastic modulus on peak-load of nanoindentation tests. Sulcata Tortoise carapace is a sandwich-like structure consisting of four submicron layers: keratin scutes, dorsal cortex, cancellous interior (porous layer) and ventral cortex.
