Insect Molecular Biology, Volume 32, Issue 6, Page 615-633, December 2023., 2023 Comprehensive analysis of adipokinetic hormone gene evolution in Blattodea. Discovery of a novel group of decapeptides that are unique to Blaberoidea. Adipokinetic hormone receptor genes broadly reflect accepted blattodean relationships. Abstract Adipokinetic hormone (AKH) is a neuropeptide produced in the insect corpora cardiaca that plays an ...

Journal of Chemistry, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022 The oriental armyworm (OAW), Mythimna separata (Walker) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), is an important pest in China and causes serious economic losses in corn. The anthranilic diamide, chlorantraniliprole (CHL), has been widely used as a seed treatment to control corn pests; however, no information is available on the efficacy of this insecticide as a seed

Tyrosine hydroxylase immunostaining in the central complex of dicondylian insects
Journal of Comparative Neurology, Volume 529, Issue 12, Page 3131-3154, August 2021., 2021 The central complex is an insect brain area controlling spatial orientation. Immunolabeling in 20 species ranging from firebrats to flies shows that the cellular distribution of the dopamine‐synthesizing enzyme tyrosine hydroxylase in the central complex is largely conserved but reveals additional novel cell types in flies and water striders.

Insect Science, Volume 28, Issue 1, Page 2-20, February 2021., 2021 Abstract Termites are eusocial arthropod decomposers, and improve soil fertility, crop yield, and also are used by humans for their benefits across the world. However, some species of termites are becoming a threat to the farming community as they are directly and indirectly causing major losses to the agricultural system. It is estimated that termites

On the roles of AA15 lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases derived from the termite Coptotermes gestroi [PDF]
Journal of Inorganic Biochemistry, 2021 Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) are copper-dependent enzymes which catalyze the oxidative cleavage of polysaccharides. LPMOs belonging to family 15 in the Auxiliary Activity (AA) class from the Carbohydrate-Active Enzyme database are found widespread across the Tree of Life, including viruses, algae, oomycetes and animals.

Mating mediates morphophysiological changes in the spermathecae of Coptotermes gestroi queens
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, 2022 AbstractInsect spermathecae play a crucial role in sperm storage and maintenance prior to egg fertilization. Within eusocial insects, this structure is well studied in the Hymenoptera, whose queens copulate during a short period early in life and store sperm for up to decades.
