Graphene oxide enhances aphid resistance in sorghum via the miR319‐SbTCP7‐SbLOX3 Pathway

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 23, Issue 8, Page 3164-3176, August 2025.
Summary The aphid (Melanaphis sacchari) has emerged as a formidable pest, devastating sorghum plants and highlighting the need for sustainable management strategies. Graphene oxide (GO), as a novel material, has garnered attention for its use in crop cultivation and management, but its effects on biotic stresses remain elusive. Here, we used 10 mg/L GO

Is the Horaana strain of the Culex pipiens group Culex pipiens pallens?

Journal of the American Mosquito Control Association, 1989
The validity of the Horaana strain of the Culex pipiens group as Cx. pipiens pallens was studied. Judging from the fourth instar characters and morphology of the adult male genitalia, this laboratory strain is now out of the range of ordinary Cx.p. pallens in Japan, and must be identified as Cx. p. quinquefasciatus.

Comparative transcriptomics reveals different profiles between diflubenzuron‐resistant and ‐susceptible phenotypes of the mosquito Culex pipiens

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 6, Page 3370-3377, June 2025.
Comparative gene expression analysis between susceptible and diflubenzuron‐resistant individuals of the mosquito Culex pipiens revealed transcriptional changes of multiple genes associated with insecticide detoxification and cuticle synthesis. Abstract Background Chitin‐synthesis inhibitors (CSIs) represent a major tool in vector control. The intensive

Wing geometric morphometrics and COI barcoding of Culex pipiens subgroup in the Republic of Korea

Scientific Reports
Two members of the Culex pipiens subgroup, Culex pallens and Culex pipiens f. molestus, are known to occur in the Republic of Korea (ROK). These species exhibit morphologically similar features and are challenging to distinguish below the species level ...

Strong resistance to β‐cyfluthrin in a strain of the beetle Alphitobius diaperinus: a de novo transcriptome analysis

Insect Science, Volume 32, Issue 1, Page 209-226, February 2025.
An RNA‐Seq approach, enhanced by biochemical analyses, established that one of the main reasons for the high resistance to β‐cyfluthrin in an Alphitobius diaperinus strain comes from high basal activities for detoxification enzymes. Abstract The lesser mealworm, Alphitobius diaperinus, is an invasive tenebrionid beetle and a vector of pathogens. Due to

Comparative Proteomics of Resistant and Susceptible Strains of Frankliniella occidentalis to Abamectin

ELECTROPHORESIS, Volume 46, Issue 1-2, Page 112-126, January 2025.
ABSTRACT Western flower thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) is an invasive agricultural pest with developed resistance to abamectin in some strains due to frequent treatment with the pesticide. In this study, we examined differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) between abamectin‐resistant (AbaR; under abamectin selective ...

Assessing transgenerational gene editing capacity for enhancing aquaculture productivity in decapod crustaceans

Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 16, Issue 4, Page 2077-2089, September 2024.
Abstract In the wake of global population increases and stagnating capture fishery production, there exists a requirement for novel biotechnologies to increase aquaculture productivity to offset demand. Through recognition of limitations imposed by aquaculture—increased incidence of disease, stress, cannibalism, and mortality in captivity—researchers ...

Immune functions of C‐type lectins in medical arthropods

Insect Science, Volume 31, Issue 3, Page 652-662, June 2024.
C‐type lectins (CTLs) in mosquito vectors facilitate viral infection. Mosquito CTLs (mosGCTLs) bind to the viral envelope (E) proteins of the West Nile virus (WNV) (A), the Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) (B), and the dengue virus (DENV) (c), thus enhancing viral entry into cells via membrane receptors such as mosPTP‐1. Abstract C‐type lectins (CTLs)

Spatial distribution of mutations in voltage-gated sodium channel genes of Culex pipiens pallens/Culex pipiens quinquefasciatus in China

, 2023
Abstract Background Culex pipiens pallens and Culex pipiens quinquefasciatus are the main species of bloodsucking mosquitoes in China. The aim of this study is to understand the current situation of VGSC genes of Cx. pipiens pallens and Cx. pipiens quinquefasciarus in China and the impact of pyrethroid insecticides on the long-term evolution ...
