Meteorus pulchricornis is a preponderant parasitic wasp of various lepidopteran pests. The extensive application broad-spectrum insecticides usually causes serious threats to the olfactory recognition nontarget insects such as parasitoid wasps. However, binding mechanism odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) in wasps remains unknown. Herein, we find that MpulOBP6 protein had strong affinity three (phoxim, chlorpyrifos, and chlorfenapyr). Results computational simulations revealed hydrophobic...
Glyphodes pyloalis Walker (G. pyloalis) is a serious pest on mulberry. Due to the increasing pesticide resistance, development of new and effective environmental methods control G. needed. Trehalase an essential enzyme in trehalose hydrolysis energy supply, it has been considered promising target for insect control. However, specific function trehalase not reported. In this study, two genes (GpTre1 GpTre2) were identified from our previous transcriptome database. The functions chitin...
Glyphodes pyloalis Walker (Lepidoptera: Pyralididae) is a serious pest in the sericulture industry, which has caused damage and losses recent years. With widespread use of insecticides, insecticide resistance G. becomes increasingly apparent. In order to find other effective methods control pyloalis, this study performed transcriptome analysis midgut, integument, whole larvae. Transcriptome data were annotated with KEGG GO, they have been shown be high quality by RT-qPCR. The different...
Glyphodes pyloalis Walker (G. pyloalis) causes significant damage to mulberry every year, and we currently lack effective environmentally friendly ways control the pest. Chitin synthase (CHS) is a critical regulatory enzyme related chitin biosynthesis, which plays vital role in growth development of insects. The function CHS G. pyloalis, however, has not been studied. In this study, two genes (GpCHSA GpCHSB) were screened from our previously created transcriptome database. complete coding...
In insect parasitoids, fatty acid synthases (FASs) have received less attention and their roles associated with lipogenesis loss are far from clear. Meteorus pulchricornis is a solitary endoparasitoid wasp of many larvae lepidopteran pests. The lipid content during developmental stages M. was measured; it higher in the larval pupal but declined six-day-old pupae. Lipid accumulation constantly decreased adult stage, even after feeding on honey solutions. To investigate FASs synthesis...
Abstract Iseropus ( Gregopimpla ) kuwanae Vlereck (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) is an ectoparasitoid wasp that attacks the larvae of Rondotia menciana Moore (Lepidoptera: Bombycidae), which a major pest harming mulberry trees in China. In this study, we obtained antennal transcriptome dataset I . using RNA‐Seq technology. A total 22,090,144 clean reads were generated, and 21,802 unigenes assembled. Among them, 11,546 (52.96%) matched NCBI non‐redundant protein database E ‐value 10 −5 )....
