Abstract This article documents the addition of 83 microsatellite marker loci and 96 pairs single‐nucleotide polymorphism ( SNP ) sequencing primers to Molecular Ecology Resources Database. Loci were developed for following species: Bembidion lampros, Inimicus japonicus, Lymnaea stagnalis, Panopea abbreviata, Pentadesma butyracea, Sycoscapter hirticola Thanatephorus cucumeris anamorph : Rhizoctonia solani) . These cross‐tested on grandifolia reyndersii also primer 88 allele‐specific or...
Detoxification genes have been associated with insecticide adaptation in the diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella. The link between chemosensation and adaptation, however, remains unexplored. To gain a better understanding of involvement these authors exposed lines P. xylostella to either high uniform (HU) or low heterogeneous (LH) concentrations permethrin, expecting primarily physiological behavioral selection respectively. Initially, 454 pyrosequencing was applied, followed by an...
Annually, the Philippines is burdened by a high number of infections and deaths due to Dengue. This disease caused Dengue virus (DENV) transmitted from one human host another female Aedes aegypti mosquito. Being developing country, most high-risk areas in are resource-limited cannot afford equipment for detection monitoring. Moreover, traditional clinical diagnoses DENV infection costly time-consuming require expertise. Hence, it important establish effective vector control surveillance...
In the Philippines, Bombyx mori parental strains Lat21 and B221 are crossed to yield NC144 CN144, which demonstrate hybrid vigor. The molecular basis of observed vigor in hybrids is warranted, as it may assist improving local sericulture programs. This study, therefore, aims investigate generate resources through whole-silkworm larvae transcriptome sequencing, assembly, analysis. Differential gene expression was also conducted among hybrids. Assembly pre-processed reads performed using de...

Abstract Soybean aphid, Aphis glycines Matsumura (Hemiptera: Aphididae), is currently the most important insect pest of soybean ( Glycine max (L.) Merr.) in United States and causes significant economic damage worldwide, but little known about aphid at molecular level. Mariner -like transposable elements (MLEs) are ubiquitous within genomes arthropods various other invertebrates. In this study, we report cloning MLEs from genome using degenerate PCR primers designed to amplify conserved...
Abstract The infestation of coconut scale insects (CSI), Aspidiotus destructor and A. rigidus , resulted in significant economic damages to the Philippine industry recent years. This incident demands a thorough understanding biological information insect pests understand how they thrive perpetuate despite adverse ecological conditions. research explored microsatellite mining, characterization, marker design on two species insect. Using bioinformatics approaches, predominant dinucleotide...
The eggplant fruit and shoot borer (EFSB) (Leucinodes orbonalis Guenée) is a devastating lepidopteran pest of (Solanum melongena L.) in the Philippines. Management an insect like EFSB requires understanding its biology, evolution, adaptations. Genomic resources provide starting point for as can be used phylogenetics population structure studies. To date, genomic are scarce EFSB; thus, this study generated complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome). circular mitogenome 15,244 bp-long. It...
RNA sequencing was used to assemble transcriptome data for Philippine-reared silkworm and compare gene expression profiles of strains reared in high- low-temperature environments. isolated from the silk glands fifth instar larvae mRNA-enriched libraries were sequenced using Illumina NextSeq 500. Transcriptome reads assembled reference-based de novo assemblers, assemblies evaluated different metrics quality, including read mapping rate, E90N50, RSEM-eval, presence single-copy orthologs. All...
The Mount Makiling Forest Reserve (MMFR) is a biodiversity hotspot and listed as one of the 170 conservation priority areas established by Philippine government. Its flora fauna diversity has been reported, but knowledge gap identified concerning bacterial communities associated with fauna. This study focused on ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae), which are dominant in forest canopy play essential roles ecosystem functionality. A metagenomic sequencing approach based amplified V3–V4 regions 16S...
The mulberry silkworm, Bombyx mori, is known to produce silk and was introduced the Philippines from China, Japan, Korea, India. silkworm germplasm in sourced three centers located regions that vary climatic conditions: Philippine Textile Research Institute–Technology Center Misamis Oriental (PTRI-TCMO); Department of Science Technology– Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR) La Trinidad, Benguet; Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University–Sericulture Development Institute (DMMMSU-SRDI),...
