FlyAtlas 2 (www.flyatlas2.org) is part successor, complement to the database and web application for studying expression of genes Drosophila melanogaster in different tissues adults larvae. Although generated same lab with fly line raised on diet as FlyAtlas, FlyAtlas2 resource employs a completely new set data based RNA-Seq, rather than microarray analysis, so it allows user obtain information transcripts gene. Furthermore, somatic are now available both male female adult flies, allowing...
Neuropeptides are responsible for regulating a variety of functions, including development, metabolism, water and ion homeostasis, as neuromodulators in circuits the central nervous system. Numerous neuropeptides have been identified characterized. However, both discovery functional characterization across massive Class Insecta has sporadic. To leverage advances post-genomic technologies this rapidly growing field, insect neuroendocrinology requires consolidated, comprehensive standardised...
Insect Capability neuropeptides (CAP2b/CAPA-PKs) play a critical role in modulating different physiologies and behavior insects. In previous proof-of-concept study, the CAP2b analogues 1895 (2Abf-Suc-FGPRLamide) 2129 (2Abf-Suc-ATPRIamide) were reported to reduce aphid fitness when administered by injection. current insecticidal efficacy of on peach potato Myzus persicae was analyzed topical application, simulating spray application scenario field. Additionally, selectivity tested evaluated...
Hylobius abietis (Linnaeus), or large pine weevil (Coleoptera, Curculionidae), is a pest of European coniferous forests.In order to gain understanding the functional physiology this species, we have assembled de novo transcriptome H. abietis, from sequence data obtained by Next Generation Sequencing.In particular, identified genes encoding neuropeptides, peptide hormones and their putative G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) insights into neuropeptide-modulated processes.The was pooled...
The Neotropical brown stink bug, Euschistus heros, is a major pest of soybean in South America. importance E. heros as has grown significantly recent times due to increases its abundance and range, the evolution insecticide resistance. Recent work begun examine genetic diversity, population structure, mechanisms resistance heros. However, date, investigation these topics been hampered by lack genomic resources for this species. Here we address need assembling high-quality draft genome We...
