Amino acids and TOR signaling promote prothoracic gland growth and the initiation of larval molts in the tobacco hornworm Manduca sexta. [PDF]

PLoS One, 2012
Molting in arthropods is orchestrated by a series of endocrine changes that occur towards the end of an instar. However, little is understood about the mechanisms that trigger these endocrine changes.

Phage Therapy Is Partially Successful in Rescuing Hornworms from Pseudomonas Infections [PDF]

Antibiotics
Background: Phage therapy is one of the few alternatives to confront the tide of drug-resistant bacteria. Yet phage therapy is often applied knowing little more than that the therapeutic phages can grow on the infecting bacterium. The lack of convenient,

The putative AKH receptor of the tobacco hornworm, Manduca sexta, and its expression. [PDF]

J Insect Sci, 2011
Adipokinetic hormones are peptide hormones that mobilize lipids and/or carbohydrates for flight in adult insects and activate glycogen Phosphorylase in larvae during starvation and during molt.

Transcription Factor Forkhead Regulates Expression of Antimicrobial Peptides in the Tobacco Hornworm, Manduca sexta [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2017
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) play an important role in defense against microbial infections in insects. Expression of AMPs is regulated mainly by NF-κB factors Dorsal, Dif and Relish.

Lipoprotein biosynthesis in the larvae of the tobacco hornworm, Manduca sexta. [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1986
Lipoprotein biosynthesis in larvae of the tobacco hornworm (Manduca sexta) was investigated. By immunoblotting, it was shown that the apoproteins are present in the fat body, but not in the midgut. Fat body incubated in vitro with [35S]methionine secreted labeled apoproteins.

Purification and characterization of a small cationic protein from the tobacco hornworm Manduca sexta. [PDF]

Insect Biochem Mol Biol, 2009
The prophenoloxidase (proPO) activation system is an important defense mechanism in arthropods, and activation of proPO to active phenoloxidase (PO) involves a serine proteinase cascade.

Farnesol and farnesal dehydrogenase(s) in corpora allata of the tobacco hornworm moth, Manduca sexta.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1983
The metabolism of [3H]farnesol was studied in cell-free preparations of corpora allata from the tobacco hornworm, Manduca sexta, to assess the role of this presumed biosynthetic precursor of juvenile hormone (JH) III.
