The C. elegans LIM homeobox gene lin-11 specifies multiple cell fates during vulval development [PDF]
, 2003 LIM homeobox family members regulate a variety of cell fate choices during animal development. In C. elegans, mutations in the LIM homeobox gene lin-11 have previously been shown to alter the cell division pattern of a subset of the 2° lineage vulval ...

Putative ligand binding sites of two functionally characterized bark beetle odorant receptors
, 2021 Background: Bark beetles are major pests of conifer forests, and their behavior is primarily mediated via olfaction. Targeting the odorant receptors (ORs) may thus provide avenues towards improved pest control.

Chemosensory regulation of developmental gene expression in Myxococcus xanthus [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2003 The δ-proteobacterium Myxococcus xanthus coordinates its motility during aggregation and fruiting body formation. While searching for chemotaxis genes in M. xanthus , we identified a third chemotaxis-like gene cluster, the che3

Dynamic Changes in Chemosensory Gene Expression during the Dendrolimus punctatus Mating Process
Frontiers in Physiology, 2018 The insect chemosensory system is pivotal for interactions with their environments, and moths have especially sensitive olfaction. Exploration of the connection between the plasticity of olfactory-guided and molecular level pathways in insects is ...

Gene set of chemosensory receptors in the polyembryonic endoparasitoid Macrocentrus cingulum [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2016 AbstractInsects are extremely successful animals whose odor perception is very prominent due to their sophisticated olfactory system. The main chemosensory organ, antennae play a critical role in detecting odor in ambient environment before initiating appropriate behavioral responses.

Microbial Odorant Detection Guides Drosophila Parasitoids Seeking Hosts in Fermenting Fruits
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Yeast microbes in fermenting fruits attract both host flies and their parasitoid wasps. Female Leptopilina boulardi detect yeast‐emitted ethyl esters via two olfactory receptors, LbouOR167 and LbouOR136. A conserved residue, Leu159, is critical for binding these compounds, enabling female wasps to locate host‐rich habitats.

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Background The molecular mechanisms underlying adaptation to physical exertion and racing stress in horses remain incompletely understood. Peripheral blood transcriptomics offers a minimally invasive method to monitor systemic responses to exercise and identify biomarkers of adaptation or overload. Objectives To evaluate transcriptomic changes

Genome-wide screen for genes involved in Caenorhabditis elegans developmentally timed sleep [PDF]
, 2017 In Caenorhabditis elegans, Notch signaling regulates developmentally timed sleep during the transition from L4 larval stage to adulthood (L4/A) . To identify core sleep pathways and to find genes acting downstream of Notch signaling, we undertook the ...

miRNAs as Influencers of Cell-Cell Communication in Tumor Microenvironment [PDF]
, 2020 microRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNAs that regulate gene expression at the posttranscriptional level, inducing the degradation of the target mRNA or translational repression.
