Journal of Lipid Research, 2006 The main triglyceride-lipase (TG-lipase) from the fat body of Manduca sexta has been identified as the homolog of Drosophila melanogaster CG8552. This protein is conserved among insects and also shares significant sequence similarity with vertebrate ...

Feeding-induced rearrangement of green leaf volatiles reduces moth oviposition
eLife, 2013 The ability to decrypt volatile plant signals is essential if herbivorous insects are to optimize their choice of host plants for their offspring. Green leaf volatiles (GLVs) constitute a widespread group of defensive plant volatiles that convey a ...

Manduca sexta as an Animal Model of Muscle Aging [PDF]
, 2021 Aging has a multisystemic effect on an organism’s functional physiology and quality of life. One such effect is the progressive loss of muscle mass, strength, and function, known as sarcopenia.

Innate food preference in the larval tobacco hornworm, Manduca sexta [PDF]
, 2017 Food preference can drive an organism to seek a specific food source even if another food, which can provide needed nutrition, is easier to obtain. Food preference can develop in different ways, including innate preference, i.e., organisms display food ...

Journal of Lipid Research, 2001 In this report we show the existence of a distinct pool of fat body diacylglycerol (DG) that can be distinguished from the bulk DG. This is a dynamic pool of DG that uses FA entering the fat body from the hemolymph, whereas the bulk DG uses the fatty ...

How scent and nectar influence floral antagonists and mutualists
eLife, 2015 Many plants attract and reward pollinators with floral scents and nectar, respectively, but these traits can also incur fitness costs as they also attract herbivores.

Discovery and Characterization of Guanylate Cyclase Receptors in Manduca sexta [PDF]
, 2018 Natriuretic peptide receptors are very important in mammals for controlling water homeostasis in the body. It is possible that during evolution, these receptors played a key role in the process, by which animals moved from the sea to the land. Until now,

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019 RNA interference (RNAi) is a promising method for controlling pest insects by silencing the expression of vital insect genes to interfere with development and physiology; however, certain insect Orders are resistant to this process. In this study, we set
