Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Starvation stress significantly affected the growth and development of Hippodamia variegata. Combined transcriptome and metabolome analysis and RNA interference verification revealed that HvarAKR1B1 may be involved in the response of Hippodamia variegata to starvation stress.

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 2165-2180, April 2025.We used recently detected P450 DNA‐based markers of pyrethroid resistance in both Anopheles funestus and Anopheles gambiae to demonstrate that although pyrethroid‐resistant mosquitoes have higher ability to survive and live longer after exposure to Royal Guard, this net significantly affects their lifespan, blood feeding ability and interestingly ...

The insulator protein CTCF regulates Drosophila steroidogenesis
Biology Open, 2015 The steroid hormone ecdysone is a central regulator of insect development. In this report we show that CTCF expression in the prothoracic gland is required for full transcriptional activation of the Halloween genes spookier, shadow and noppera-bo, which ...

LsFAMeT and LsJHAMT coordinate JH biosynthesis to regulate fecundity in Laodelphax striatellus
Insect Science, EarlyView.The small brown planthopper (SBPH), Laodelphax striatellus, can trigger large‐scale outbreaks when encountering suitable habitats during migration due to their strong reproductive ability. This study investigated the role of juvenile hormone (JH) in regulating SBPH reproduction.

INVESTIGATING THE MOLECULAR CONTROL OF ECDYSONE RESPONSE GENE, E74, IN THE DROSOPHILA OVARY.
, 2023 Oogenesis is the process by which an egg develops from precursor cells in the ovary. This process has been widely studied\; however, many of the molecular mechanisms that regulate oocyte development and growth remain unclear.

TcALS knockdown accelerates metamorphosis via insulin signaling in Tribolium castaneum
Insect Science, EarlyView.RNAi silencing of TcALS accelerates larva‐to‐pupa metamorphosis in Tribolium castaneum. Abstract Insect metamorphosis is an evolutionary adaptation precisely regulated by nutritional and hormonal cues. The red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum, a major stored‐product pest, serves as an excellent model for studying this process.

Ecdysone Control of Developmental Transitions:Lessons from Drosophila Research
, 2013 The steroid hormone ecdysone is the central regulator of insect developmental transitions. Recent new advances in our understanding of ecdysone action have relied heavily on the application of Drosophila melanogaster molecular genetic tools to study ...
