Insect cytokine growth-blocking peptide (GBP) regulates insect development
Applied Entomology and Zoology, 2006 Growth-blocking peptide (GBP) was first identified in the hemolymph of the host armyworm, Pseudaletia separata, whose growth is halted in the last instar larval stage by parasitization with the parasitoid wasp, Cotesia kariyai. Studies on the mechanism of growth retardation by GBP revealed that GBP titers in hemolymph fluctuate synchronously with ...

Increased regeneration efficiency of _Brassica napus_ L. cultivars Star, Westar and Cyclone from hypocotyle and cotyledonary explants [PDF]
, 2010 The comparative organogenesis of _Brassica napus_ L cultivars Cyclone, Star and Westar was studied. The cotyledonary explants gave a higher response to all the combinations of 0.5 mg/L 2,4-D and BAP (0.5, 1.0,1.5 and 2.0 mg/L} used for optimizing the ...

Thermal Plasticity is Regulated by a Key MicroRNA During Range Expansion of an Invasive Fruit Fly
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Populations at the invasion front of Bactrocera dorsalis adapt through reduced phenotypic and gene expression plasticity, a phenomenon likely to be driven by genetic assimilation. We identify a key miRNA‐mediated regulatory axis, in which miR‐276b post‐transcriptionally represses thw, a conserved chitin‐binding gene critical to the cold‐tolerance ...
