Cloning, Expression, Sequence Analysis and Homology Modeling of the Prolyl Endoprotease from Eurygaster integriceps Puton [PDF]

Insects, 2014
eurygaster integriceps Puton, commonly known as sunn pest, is a major pest of wheat in Northern Africa, the Middle East and Eastern Europe. This insect injects a prolyl endoprotease into the wheat, destroying the gluten.

BIOLOGY OF Trissolcus latisulcus Crawford (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae), AN EGG PARASITOID OF Chrysocoris javanus Westw (Hemiptera: Scutelleridae) [PDF]

AGRIVITA Journal of Agricultural Science, 2012
The biology of Trissolcus latisulcus Crawford was studied on eggs of Chrysocoris javanus Westw (Hemiptera: Scutelleridae) which is a serious pest of Jatropha curcas L.. The aim of this study was to investigate the biology of Trissolcus latisulcus as

Morphological structure of salivary glands, alimentary canal, and Malpighian tubules in adult Eurydema spectabilis Horváth, 1882 (Heteroptera, Pentatomidae). [PDF]

Microsc Res Tech
In E. spectabilis, the salivary glands are divided into principal and accessory glands. Microvilli and numerous secretory granules were found in Malpighian tubules. Numerous uric acid crystals and bacteria were found in the rectum lumen. Abstract Eurydema spectabilis (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) has a piercing‐sucking mouth type and feeds on plant sap ...

Differences between phytophagous and predatory species in Pentatomidae based on the mitochondrial genome. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
The phytophagous and predatory species in Pentatomidae were compared and analyzed. And we constructed the phylogenetic trees and the time tree. Our research results provide data supporting for the evolutionary patterns and classification of Pentatomidae.

Diversity of the Obligate Gut Bacteria Indicates Host-Symbiont Coevolution at the Population Level in the Plataspid Stinkbug Megacopta cribraria. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Illumina sequencing more accurately reflects the composition of the gut bacterial community in Ishikawaella–Plataspidae system. Closely related strains of Ishikawaella are likely to coexist in the same host. Host–symbiont coevolution exists at the population level of Plataspidae stinkbug Megacopta cribraria.

Antibodies raised against a Sunn bug (Eurygaster integriceps Put.) recombinant protease, rGHP3p2, can inhibit gluten-hydrolyzing activity. [PDF]

Food Sci Nutr, 2020
Sunn pest or Sunn bug salivary gland proteases are responsible for the deterioration of wheat flour quality during dough mixing, resulting from gluten hydrolysis. The present study describes the generation of a specific peptide antibody, raised against the active center of the recombinant gluten‐hydrolyzing protease (GHP3).

Sexual selection and predation drive the repeated evolution of stridulation in Heteroptera and other arthropods

Biological Reviews, Volume 98, Issue 3, Page 942-981, June 2023., 2023
ABSTRACT Acoustic and substrate‐borne vibrations are among the most widely used signalling modalities in animals. Arthropods display a staggering diversity of vibroacoustic organs generating acoustic sound and/or substrate‐borne vibrations, and are fundamental to our broader understanding of the evolution of animal signalling.

Polyctenidae (Hemiptera: Cimicoidea) species in the Afrotropical region: Distribution, host specificity, and first insights to their molecular phylogeny

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 10, October 2022., 2022
Polyctenidae bugs are very rare, hematophagous, highly specialized ectoparasites of bats. In this study, we demonstrate the first molecular phylogeny of the family Polyctenidae, showing their phylogenetic relationship with the closely related family Cimicidae.

Insects and their Laboulbeniales (Ascomycota, Fungi) of Lake Eustis and Emeralda Marsh Conservation Area: A case study on urbanization and diversity

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 23, Page 16618-16633, December 2021., 2021
Two lakes in central Florida were surveyed for insects and the associated fungal parasites, Laboulbeniales. One of the lakes had been the site of intensive restoration efforts while the other lake is highly developed and un‐restored. This study found stark differences in fungal diversity between the sites, and explores the possibility of the use of ...

Removal of gut symbiotic bacteria negatively affects life history traits of the shield bug, Graphosoma lineatum

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 6, Page 2515-2523, March 2021., 2021
In this study, life table analysis was used to assess the biological importance of the gut symbiont in the shield bug, Graphosoma lineatum (Heteroptera, Pentatomidae). Surface sterilization of the eggs was used to remove the symbiont. The symbiont population was decreased in the newborn nymphs hatched from the surface‐sterilized eggs (the aposymbiotic ...
