A vacuolar type ATPase subunit B (vATPase‐B) gene is identified and expressed in the midgut of Bemisia tabaci and Frankliniella occidentalis. The double‐stranded RNA (dsRNA) specific to vATPase‐B was expressed in hot peppers by virus‐induced gene silencing (VIGS) and killed both whitefly and thrips.

Distinct lineages of the grasshopper Chorthippus parallelus (Orthoptera: Acrididae) form a well‐known hybrid zone (HZ) in the Pyrenees mountain range; the Iberian endemism C. p. erythropus (Cpe) and the subspecies C. p. parallelus, (Cpp) widely distributed throughout the rest of Europe. Both subspecies differ in diverse traits, including the strains of

Role of Methoprene-tolerant (Met) in adult morphogenesis and in adult ecdysis of Blattella germanica. [PDF]
Juvenile Hormone (JH) represses metamorphosis of young instars in insects. One of the main players in hormonal signalling is Methoprene-tolerant (Met), which plays the role of JH receptor.

Molecular characterization of the singed wings locus of Drosophila melanogaster. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Hormones frequently guide animal development via the induction of cascades of gene activities, whose products further amplify an initial hormonal stimulus.

Identification of genes influencing dendrite morphogenesis in developing peripheral sensory and central motor neurons. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Developing neurons form dendritic trees with cell type-specific patterns of growth, branching and targeting. Dendrites of Drosophila peripheral sensory neurons have emerged as a premier genetic model, though the molecular mechanisms that ...

Population Genomics of Incipient Allochronic Divergence in the Pine Processionary Moth
ABSTRACT Allochronic divergence is a key evolutionary mechanism that can frequently lead to incipient speciation. Although theoretical models suggest that such divergence is notably facilitated by small population size and genetic polymorphisms influencing reproductive timing, though constrained by genetic load, empirical validation remains limited. We

DNA affects ligand binding of the ecdysone receptor of Drosophila melanogaster [PDF]
The heterodimers of all three ecdysone receptor (EcR) isoforms with Ultraspiracle (Usp), the invertebrate orthologue of RXR, bind Ponasterone A with the same affinity in the absence of DNA. Ligand binding is stimulated by ecdysone response elements (EcREs) to different degrees depending on the receptor isoform, the heterodimerization partner, and the ...

An important question in neuroscience is how stem cells generate neuronal diversity. During Drosophila embryonic development, neural stem cells (neuroblasts) sequentially express transcription factors that generate neuronal diversity; regulation of the ...

Epigenetic regulation affects gene amplification in Drosophila development
In Drosophila melanogaster, in response to developmental transcription factors, and by repeated initiation of DNA replication of four chorion genes, ovarian follicle cells, form an onion skin-type structure at the replication origins. The DNA replication

Functional Study of Ecdysone Signaling Pathway Related Genes During Ovarian Maturation and Juvenile Development of The Mud Crab, Scylla paramamosain [PDF]
蜕皮激素在节肢动物蜕皮、附肢再生以及繁殖等生理过程起着重要作用。蜕皮激素受体(Ecdysonereceptor,EcR)在整个蜕皮激素信号通路中起重要作用。当蜕皮激素合成达到一定浓度以后,能够诱导EcR与维甲酸X受体(retinoidXreceptor,RXR)形成有功能的EcR/RXR异源二聚体,进而启动蜕皮激素信号通路产生级联反应,诱导E75、E74、BroadComplex(BR-C)等早期应答基因的转录。这些早期应答基因进一步调控下游一些蛋白酶和其它基因的陆续表达,产生次级应答 ...
