Resistant silkworm strain block viral infection independent of melanization
Pesticide Biochemistry and Physiology, 2019Melanization mediated by the prophenoloxidase-activating system (proPO) is an important immune response in invertebrates. However, the role of melanization on viral infection has not been wildly revealed in Bombyx mori (B. mori), silkworm.

A serpin mutant links Toll activation to melanization in the host defence of Drosophila
EMBO Journal, 2002 A prominent response during the Drosophila host defence is the induction of proteolytic cascades, some of which lead to localized melanization of pathogen surfaces, while others activate one of the major players in the systemic antimicrobial response ...

Melanization is mediated by the prophenoloxidase (proPO) activation cascade and plays an important role in the arthropods immune system. Previously, we found that the hemolymph of the p50 strain does not perform melanization after infection with ...

On the Melanization of the Rat's Eye
Pigment Cell Research, 1996Electron‐microscopic study of the size of the melanosomes, the mean percentage of melanosomal profile area (MPMA) of the cells, and the duration of melanogenesis in the pigmented layers of the rat's eye (inbred strain BDE/Han) revealed the following: 1) The melanosomes in the cells of the retina vary in size and shape in different locations of the eye.

Melanization induced by Heliothis virescens ascovirus 3h promotes viral replication
Insect Science, 2020Melanization is an important innate immune defense mechanism of insects, which can kill invading pathogens. Most pathogens, for their survival and reproduction, inhibit the melanization of the host.

Polydnaviruses (PDVs) are obligatory symbionts of parasitoid wasps and play an important role in suppressing host immune defenses. Although PDV genes that inhibit host melanization are known in Microplitis bracovirus, the functional homologs in Cotesia ...

Probing insect backscatter cross section and melanization using kHz optical remote detection system
, 2017 A kHz optical remote sensing system is implemented to determine insect melanization features. This is done by measuring the backscatter signal in the visible and near-infrared (VISNIR) and short-wave infrared (SWIR) in situ.

Abstract Melanism: Evolution in Action describes investigations into a ubiquitous biological phenomenon, the existence of dark, or melanic, forms of many species of mammals, insects, and some plants. Melanism is a particularly exciting phenomenon in terms of our understanding of evolution.
