Thermosensory TRPV Heterotetramers Drive Seasonal Polyphenism: Molecular Basis of CcIav/CcNan‐PKCα‐AKH/AKHR Signaling in Pear Psyllid Morph Transition

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
At 2 5 °C, thermal activation initiates: i) CcIav/CcNan heterotetramer assembly → Ca2⁺ influx; ii) CcPKCα phosphorylation → AKH signaling potentiation; iii) CcAKH1 binding to membrane‐localized CcAKHR → energy mobilization (lipid catabolism/glycogenolysis) and vitellogenin transport via follicular patency; iv) Oocyte maturation → summer‐form nymph ...
