Gentle Label‐Free Nonlinear Optical Imaging Relaxes Linear‐Absorption‐Mediated Triplet

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The phototoxicity in nonlinear optical microscopy arises mainly from linear absorption of intrinsic biomolecules rather than nonlinear absorption. This mechanism is supported by a reproducible phototoxicity assay based on widely available chicken breast.

A Simple and Low-Cost CRISPR/Cas9 Knockout System Widely Applicable to Insects

Insects
The CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing system is a standard technique in functional genomics, with widespread applications. However, the establishment of a CRISPR/Cas9 system is challenging. Previous studies have presented numerous methodologies for establishing a

Inhibition of Ferroptosis Delays Aging and Extends Healthspan Across Multiple Species

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identifies ferroptosis as a key driver of cellular senescence, with its inhibition delaying aging and extending healthspan across species. During senescence, ferroptosis worsens, increasing oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation, which accelerate aging.

Testing host-plant driven speciation in phytophagous insects : a phylogenetic perspective [PDF]

arXiv, 2019
During the last two decades, ecological speciation has been a major research theme in evolutionary biology. Ecological speciation occurs when reproductive isolation between populations evolves as a result of niche differentiation. Phytophagous insects represent model systems for the study of this evolutionary process.

Neophytadiene, a Plant Specialized Metabolite, Mediates the Virus‐Vector‐Plant Tripartite Interactions

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Tomato chlorosis virus (ToCV) infection induces production of neophytadiene, a volatile resulting from chlorophyll degradation that is highly attractive to whiteflies. OBP2, an odorant‐binding protein from insect vector B. tabaci, exhibits a strong binding affinity for neophytadiene.

Chromosome‐Level Genome Assembly of the Leafcutter Bee Megachile rotundata Reveals Its Ecological Adaptation and Pollination Biology

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The genome of Megachile rotundata, an extensively managed solitary pollination bee species, has been sequenced, covering 280.68 Mb and predicting 10 701 genes. The study reveals significant expansions of the Toll gene family and their abundant expression in diapause prepupae, highlighting enhanced immune responses during diapause. This genome serves as

The Bombyx mori singed Gene Is Involved in the High-Temperature Resistance of Silkworms

Insects
Temperature is an important factor in the growth, development, survival, and reproduction of organisms. The high-temperature resistance mechanism of insects may be significant for use in the prevention and control of insect pests.

Insect-Computer Hybrid Speaker: Speaker using Chirp of the Cicada Controlled by Electrical Muscle Stimulation [PDF]

arXiv
We propose "Insect-Computer Hybrid Speaker", which enables us to make musics made from combinations of computer and insects. Lots of studies have proposed methods and interfaces for controlling insects and obtaining feedback. However, there have been less research on the use of insects for interaction with third parties.

Virome and Experimental Analysis Reveal Tryptophan‐Like Dissolved Organic Matter Contributes to the Persistence of Plant Viruses in River Water

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Tryptophan‐like dissolved organic matter (Try‐like DOM), a key component of organic matter in river ecosystems, demonstrates significant protective effects against plant viruses. The protective mechanism operates via a “swimming firewall” mode, whereby free Try‐like DOM attenuates ultraviolet (UV) radiation and scavenges reactive oxygen species ...
