A family of chemoreceptors in Tribolium castaneum (Tenebrionidae: Coleoptera). [PDF]
Chemoperception in invertebrates is mediated by a family of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCR). To date nothing is known about the molecular mechanisms of chemoperception in coleopteran species.

Synthesis of the aggregation pheromone of <i>Tribolium castaneum</i>. [PDF]
Tribolium castaneum Herbst is a destructive stored product pest. The aggregation pheromone of this pest was prepared via a new and effective strategy. The key steps include the ring-opening reaction of chiral 2-methyloxirane, the stereospecific inversion of chiral secondary tosylate, Li 2

Expanding the genetic toolkit of Tribolium castaneum [PDF]
Abstract The red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum , is an important model insect and agricultural pest.However, many standard genetic tools are lacking or underdeveloped in this system. Here, we present a set of new reagents to augment existing Tribolium

Neuropeptide precursors in Tribolium castaneum [PDF]
Neuropeptides and neurohormones are among the more diverse and functionally important classes of cell-to-cell signaling molecules involved in animal development and behavior. Less is known about the hormones and neuropeptides of the red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum, than many other insects.

Larval competition and genetic diversity in Tribolium castaneum [PDF]
Compared the survival of sib groups and random groups of larvae of flour beetle maintained at high population density. Random groups survived longer, related to a higher early mortality, which reduced competition in the long run in these groups. A clear increase in between-group variability for survival was found in the sib groups, implying the ...

The genome of the model beetle and pest Tribolium castaneum [PDF]
Tribolium castaneum is a member of the most species-rich eukaryotic order, a powerful model organism for the study of generalized insect development, and an important pest of stored agricultural products. We describe its genome sequence here. This omnivorous beetle has evolved the ability to interact with a diverse chemical environment, as shown by ...

The Cytotoxic Effect of Genistein, a Soybean Isoflavone, against Cultured Tribolium Cells
The red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum is a known pest of various grains and stored-products such as wheat flours; however, T. castaneum feeds on and infests soybean and soy products.
