Effects of parasitism by Pteromalus puparum on hemolymph protein and carbohydrate metabolism in overwintering pupae of Pieris rapae

浙江大学学报. 农业与生命科学版, 2000
The effect of parasitism by Pteromalus puparum (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) on trehalase activity and contents of soluble protein, total sugar, trehalose and reducing sugar in the hemolymph of overwintering pupae of Pieris rapae was investigated.

The Silkworm as a Source of Natural Antimicrobial Preparations: Efficacy on Various Bacterial Strains

Antibiotics, 2021
The global spread of multi-resistant pathogens responsible for infections, which cannot be treated with existing drugs such as antibiotics, is of particular concern. Antibiotics are becoming increasingly ineffective and drug resistance is leading to more

MicroRNA‐375‐3p Targets Fatty Acid Synthase and Relish to Regulate Energy Allocation During Pupal Metamorphosis and Starvation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
During pupal metamorphosis and starvation, elevated 20‐hydroxyecdysone (20E) and suppressed insulin trigger Forkhead box O (FOXO) nuclear translocation, enhancing miR‐375‐3p expression. This downregulates fatty acid synthase (FASN) and Relish, promoting lipid breakdown for energy while prioritizing antioxidant responses over immune functions to support

Sulfakinin Signaling Sense Circulating Fructose and Suppresses Food Consumption via Insulin‐Like Peptide in Bactrocera Dorsalis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study discovered a new pathway that tells fruit flies when to stop eating. It found that rising blood sugar (fructose) is detected by a sensor called GR43a. This triggers a chain reaction involving the satiety signal sulfakinin and its receptor, ultimately activating a final satiety signal, ILP5.

A Simple Protocol for Isolating Hemolymph from Single Drosophila melanogaster Adult Flies

Methods and Protocols, 2023
Drosophila melanogaster is an excellent model for dissecting innate immune signaling and functions. Humoral and cellular immune mechanisms in the fly take place in the hemolymph, where host defense components are secreted and act in response to microbial

A Testis‐Specific Aralkylamine N‐Acetyltransferase Regulates Dimorphic Sperm Function and Male Fertility in Moths

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We identify a Lepidoptera‐conserved testis‐specific arylalkylamine N‐acetyltransferase (LTNAT) that governs male moth fertility via a novel mechanism. LTNAT loss disrupts eupyrene sperm mitochondrial derivatives and impairs apyrene sperm motility, offering a safe molecular target for innovative pesticides and genetic pest control.

Genetic Control of Tissue Remodeling by a Non‐Coding SNP in ITGA8 Explains Carotenoid‐Based Color Polymorphism in Marine Mollusks

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In this study, the orange‐muscle giant abalone (Haliotis gigantea) is used as a model to identify a non‐coding SNP that disrupts the interaction between ITGA8 pre‐mRNA and the splicing factor ILF2, leading to altered ITGA8 splicing. These splicing changes promote carotenoid accumulation in abalone muscle through the regulation of tissue remodeling ...

All‐in‐One Underwater Quality Evaluation Metamaterial With Mechanical Robustness, Sound Attenuation, and Diffuse Reflection

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In this work, a bioinspired all‐in‐one underwater quality evaluation metamaterial, combining sound attenuation, diffuse reflection, and mechanical robustness, is proposed based on jumping spider locomotion and human skeletal biomechanics. Meanwhile, a CNN‑driven quality evaluation framework is established for theoretically dimension‐reduced ...

Efecto del parasitismo del isópodo bopírido Ionella agassizi (Isopoda: Epicaridea) (Bornnier, 1900) sobre la fisiología nutricional del nape Neotrypaea uncinata (M. Edwards, 1837) (Decapoda: Thalassinidea) Effects of parasitism in nutritional physiology of the ghost shrimp Neotrypaea uncinata parasitized by the isopod Ionella agassizi

Revista Chilena de Historia Natural, 2000
El nape Neotrypaea uncinata se encuentra parasitado en sus branquias por el isópodo Ionella agassizi. Trabajos anteriores han señalado que I. agassizi provoca un efecto negativo en la biología reproductiva del nape, afectando significativamente tanto el ...
