The cryptonephridial/rectal complex: an evolutionary adaptation for water and ion conservation

Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 2, Page 647-671, April 2025.
ABSTRACT Arthropods have integrated digestive and renal systems, which function to acquire and maintain homeostatically the substances they require for survival. The cryptonephridial complex (CNC) is an evolutionary novelty in which the renal organs and gut have been dramatically reorganised. Parts of the renal or Malpighian tubules (MpTs) form a close

Molecular cloning and characterization of the allatotropin precursor and receptor in the desert locust, Schistocerca gregaria.

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2015
Allatotropins (ATs) are pleiotropic neuropeptides initially isolated from the tobacco hornworm, Manduca sexta. In 2008, the first receptor for AT-like peptides (ATR) was characterized in Bombyx mori.

Teaching Principles of Endocrinology Using the Tobacco Hornworm

, 2017
Insects provide an excellent model for examining concepts in endocrinology in the classroom. They are relatively inexpensive to rear, short-lived, and free from animal welfare regulations.

Zinc and Manduca sexta hemocyte functions

Journal of Insect Science, 2002
Two metalloproteases have recently been linked to the immune response in Lepidoptera. In addition, zinc is highly important in many mammalian immune-related functions.

Microanalysis of the amino acid sequence of the eclosion hormone from the tobacco hornworm Manduca sexta [PDF]

, 1987
The amino acid sequence of the eclosion hormone from the tobacco hornworm Manduca sexta has been determined, using less than 500 pmol of protein and microanalytical techniques.

Characterization and distribution of the hydrocarbons found in diapausing pupae tissues of the tobacco hornworm, Manduca sexta (L.)1

Journal of Lipid Research, 1981
The cuticular hydrocarbons of diapausing pupae of the tobacco hornworm, Manduca sexta (L.), are composed of two types of hydrocarbons: n-alkanes (3%) and unsaturated hydrocarbons (97%).
