Abstract The silkworm Bombyx mori is an important economic insect for producing silk, the “queen of fabrics”. currently available genomes limit understanding its genetic diversity and discovery valuable alleles breeding. Here, we deeply re-sequence 1,078 silkworms assemble long-read 545 representatives. We construct a high-resolution pan-genome dataset representing almost entire genomic content in silkworm. find that population harbors high density variants identify 7308 new genes, 4260...
Abstract Cuticular proteins (CPs) are crucial components of the insect cuticle. Although numerous genes encoding cuticular have been identified in known genomes to date, their functions maintaining body shape and adaptability remain largely unknown. In current study, positional cloning led identification a gene an RR1-type protein, BmorCPR2, highly expressed larval chitin-rich tissues at mulberry leaf-eating stages, which is responsible for silkworm stony mutant. Dazao-stony strain, BmorCPR2...
Biodegradable plastics have become an important commodity to replace non-degradable and alleviate environment pollution. It is identify instances of counterfeit mislabeled biodegradable in the marketplace avoid sustainability fraud improve waste recycling. In this study, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) elemental analyzer-isotope ratio mass spectrometry (EA-IRMS) were used analyze (polylactic acid (PLA), poly butylene adipate-co-terephthalate (PBAT), PBAT/PLA blend (PBAT+PLA))...
Abstract Body shape and color patterns of insect larvae are fundamental traits for survival. Typically, transcription factors or members signaling pathways... The genetic basis body coloration on caterpillars is often assumed to be regulated separately, but it possible that common molecules affect both types trait simultaneously. Here we examine the a spontaneous cuticle defect in silkworm, where exhibit bamboo-like decreased pigmentation. We performed linkage mapping mutation screening...
The color pattern of insects is one the most diverse adaptive evolutionary phenotypes. However, molecular regulation this not fully understood. In study, we found that transcription factor Bm-mamo responsible for black dilute ( bd ) allele mutations in silkworm. belongs to BTB zinc finger family and orthologous mamo Drosophila melanogaster . This gene has a conserved function gamete production silkworms evolved pleiotropic patterns caterpillars. Using RNAi clustered regularly interspaced...
Abstract The insect cuticle is a critical protective shell that composed predominantly of chitin and various cuticular proteins pigments. Indeed, insects often change their surface pigment patterns in response to selective pressures, such as threats from predators, sexual selection environmental changes. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying construction epidermis its pigmentation are not fully understood. Among Lepidoptera, silkworm favorable model for color pattern research. black...
Many insects spin cocoons to protect the pupae from unfavorable environments and predators. After emerging pupa, moths must escape sealed cocoons. Previous works identified cocoonase as active enzyme loosening cocoon form an escape-hatch. Here, using bioinformatics tools, we show that is specific Lepidoptera it probably existed before occurrence of lepidopteran spinning Despite differences in cocooning behavior, further evolved by purification selection more intense Experimentally, applied...
Chrysanthemum morifolium Ramat., known as Hangbaiju (HBJ), is a high-value edible, medicinal product where the flowers are infused in hot water and drunk tea. Its quality efficacy closely related to its geographical origin. Consequently, it vulnerable fraudulent substitution by other lower-value products. In this study, cultivation (variety different growth stages) isotopic fractionation between flower, stem, leaf were studied. Samples from four HBJ varieties characterized using stable...
Abstract Effective geographical origin discrimination of Chinese rice requires a large database samples to ensure sufficient data for verification at regional scale. In this study, environmental similarity was used establish spatial nutrient element, and then the validity verified using back propagation artificial neural networks modeling (BPNN). The distribution model 14 element (Al, Ba, Ca, Cu, Cr, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, Mo, Na, Ni, Rb, Zn) on scale built an method first time. Elemental...
Biogas slurry (BS) is now increasingly used for organic rice production in China. However, the isotopic response and fractionation of different BS application rates to characterize cultivation have not yet been investigated. In this study, fertilizer treatments were applied paddy soil including urea, with five a control no added. Multiproxy analyses (% C, % N, δ13C, δ15N, δ2H, δ18O) rice, straw, undertaken using elemental analyzer–isotope ratio mass spectrometry. Rice, showed only minor...
