The quest for the best target genes for RNAi‐mediated pest control

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
A major challenge for RNAi mediated pest control is the identification of the most effective RNAi target genes from the pool of ~37% of all genes that are essential. Effective RNAi target genes are predominantly highly conserved genes serving basic cellular functions such as protein degradation.

Understanding the genetics of sex determination in insects and its relevance to genetic pest management

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
In insect sex determination pathways, the primary signals may vary within and between insect orders; however, the relay and terminal genes are more conserved. The upstream components of insect sex determination pathways ensure the downstream components are sex‐specifically spliced to regulate the development of male and female‐specific traits in a sex ...

The molecular mechanisms of defensive‐grade organic acid biosynthesis in ground beetles

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
Formic acid and methacrylic acid are the primary defensive chemicals in the pygidial gland secretions of Platynus angustatus and Pterostichus moestus, respectively. Comparative transcriptomics suggests the folate cycle and valine catabolism may be involved in the biosynthesis of formic acid and methacrylic acid, respectively.

Role of Atg3, Atg5 and Atg12 in the crosstalk between apoptosis and autophagy in the posterior silk gland of Bombyx mori

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
Autophagy‐related genes exert their effects not only by regulating autophagy but also by modulating apoptosis. This study provided evidence for anti‐apoptotic effects of Atg3 and Atg5 and pro‐apoptotic effects of Atg12 in the posterior silk gland.

The loss of the urea cycle and ornithine metabolism in different insect orders: An omics approach

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
Among urea cycle enzymes, only the nitric oxide synthase gene is universally present across insect genomes. All Hemiptera species lack the enzymes needed to convert citrulline to arginine, and some also lack the pathway from arginine to ornithine. Putrescine and spermidine synthesis is conserved in all insects, but aphids lack the capability to produce
