Ecdysone response element in a baculovirus immediate-early gene, ie1, promoter [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
A computer-assisted analysis identified tentative target sequences for regulatory proteins including ecdysone-inducible factors such as BmFTZF1 and Broad-Complex Z4 (BR-C Z4) in the ie1 promoter of BmNPV. A transient expression experiment using BmN cells

Targeting UDP‐Bta06664 in Bemisia tabaci: A novel strategy to reduce tomato yellow leaf curl virus transmission by impairing insect vector feeding

open access: yesNew Plant Protection, Volume 3, Issue 3, September 2026.
Tomato yellow leaf curl virus upregulates the Bemisia tabaci UDP‐glycosyltransferase gene UDP‐Bta06664. RNA interference (RNAi) silencing of this gene disrupts phloem feeding—delaying E1 and shortening E2—and reduces both virus acquisition and inoculation, highlighting its potential as an RNAi target.

Tissue‐specific recombination‐activated clonal and inducible transcription (TRAC‐IT) enables controlled gene activation in stably marked tissues

open access: yesThe Plant Journal, Volume 127, Issue 6, September 2026.
Significance Statement Tissue‐specific Recombination‐Activated Clonal and Inducible Transcription (TRAC‐IT), a two‐step system that uncouples inducible gene expression from cell identity. TRAC‐IT offers a versatile tool that provides new technical possibilities to explore the mechanisms driving plant development in a stable tissue‐specific fashion.

Stage‐Specific H3K14 and H3K23 Succinylation Orchestrates Insect Metamorphosis and Oogenesis

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 43, 3 August 2026.
Stage‐specific succinylation of histone H3 at lysine 14 and 23 differentially controls insect metamorphosis and oogenesis through distinct GPCR‐PKC signaling cascades, revealing an evolutionarily conserved epigenetic mechanism that coordinates key life‐history traits.

From Mosquito Ovaries to Ecdysone; from Ecdysone to Wolbachia: One Woman’s Career in Insect Biology

open access: yes, 2022
SIMPLE SUMMARY: My career in science, and specifically in insect biology, benefitted from post-war efforts to improve science education in the 1950s and 1960s and increased opportunities for women students and faculty; teachers, mentors, associates ...

New reporter gene assays for detecting natural and synthetic molting hormone agonists using yeasts expressing ecdysone receptors of various insects

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, 2017
Synthetic nonsteroidal ecdysone agonists, a class of insect growth regulators (IGRs), target the ecdysone receptor (EcR), which forms a heterodimer with ultraspiracle (USP) to transactivate ecdysone response genes.

Lippia umbellata Cav.: Chemical Composition, Insecticidal, and Antimicrobial Activities

open access: yesChemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 8, August 2026.
Hexane extracts of Lippia umbellata leaves and flowers contain lupenone, α‐amyrin, and hentriacontane. They exhibit insecticidal activity against Drosophila melanogaster and inhibit AChE in vitro and in silico. Furthermore, the extracts can inhibit the growth of medically important bacteria and yeasts, including multidrug‐resistant strains.

Ecdysone signaling induces two phases of cell cycle exit in Drosophila cells

open access: yesBiology Open, 2016
During development, cell proliferation and differentiation must be tightly coordinated to ensure proper tissue morphogenesis. Because steroid hormones are central regulators of developmental timing, understanding the links between steroid hormone ...

Genomic and Morphological Insights Into the Adaptive Evolution of Honeybees in Rocky Desertification Habitats

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Rocky desertification exerts significant selective pressures on honeybee morphology. Honeybees undergo adaptive evolution in 19 genes such as glycogen biosynthesis. Genes like GBE promote organismal survival under desertification. ABSTRACT Unlike traditional desertification, rocky desertification is a distinct form of land degradation characterized by ...
