A Large Scale Systemic RNAi Screen in the Red Flour Beetle Tribolium castaneum Identifies Novel Genes Involved in Insect Muscle Development

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2019
Although muscle development has been widely studied in Drosophila melanogaster there are still many gaps in our knowledge, and it is not known to which extent this knowledge can be transferred to other insects.

Characterization of DNA methylation as a function of biological complexity via dinucleotide inter-distances

, 2015
We perform a statistical study of the distances between successive occurrencies of a given dinucleotide in the DNA sequence for a number of organisms of different complexity.

The Tribolium castaneum cell line TcA: a new tool kit for cell biology [PDF]

, 2014
The red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum, is an agriculturally important insect pest that has been widely used as a model organism. Recently, an adherent cell line (BCIRL-TcA-CLG1 or TcA) was developed from late pupae of the red flour beetle.

Comparative gene expression supports the origin of the incisor and molar process from a single endite in the mandible of the red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum

EvoDevo, 2013
Background The biting edge of the primitive arthropod mandible consists of a biting incisor process and a crushing molar process. These structures are thought to be derived from a structure known as an endite but the precise details of this are not ...

MicroRNA evolution, expression, and function during short germband development in Tribolium castaneum

Genome Research, 2016
MicroRNAs are well-established players in the development of multicellular animals. Most of our understanding of microRNA function in arthropod development comes from studies in Drosophila.

An Evaluation of Infestation of Insect Pests of Flours in Benin City, Edo State, Nigeria

Journal of Applied Sciences and Environmental Management, 2014
Wheat, Yam, Cassava and Corn flour obtained during fortnightly interval for three months in Benin City, Edo State, were investigated for the occurrence and relative abundance of various insect pests. Six species of insect pests were recorded.
