Insects detect and discriminate a diverse array of chemicals using odorant receptors (ORs), which are ligand-gated ion channels comprising divergent odorant-sensing OR conserved receptor co-receptor (Orco). In this work, we report structures the
MgaZnbAlc–CO3 layered double hydroxides (LDHs) with varying magnesium/zinc ratios have been synthesized by a method involving separate nucleation and aging steps. The resulting LDHs were analyzed powder X-ray diffraction, laser particle size analysis, scanning electron microscopy, diffuse reflectance UV spectroscopy. results show that the blocking properties of MgaZnbAlc–CO3–LDHs depend on both proportion zinc distribution. absorbing increase content zinc, which can be ascribed to decrease...
Catalase negatively regulates plant immunity and is targeted degraded by ubiquitin E3 ligase.
Alternative food sources are crucial for the survival and reproduction of moths during nectar scarcity. Noctuid make a better use fermented than from other families, while underlying molecular genetic basis remain unexplored. As fermentation progresses, yeasts lysis accumulation metabolic byproducts alter composition volatile release sugary substrates. However, it is unclear whether how this would affect feeding preference moths. Here, we identified eight compounds abundant in dynamic...
Abstract Objective This study aimed to identify the potential inflammatory molecular biomarkers that could be utilized for early prediction of different subtypes tuberculosis (TB) in adults. Methods Plasma samples were obtained from a cohort adults diagnosed with 48 cases active TB, including drug-susceptible TB (S-TB, n = 28), multidrug-resistant (R-TB, 20), latent infection (LTBI, as well control group healthy individuals without any (HC, 20). The expression level 92 inflammatory-related...
Abstract In moths, pheromone receptors (PRs) are crucial for intraspecific sexual communication between males and females. Moth PRs considered as an ideal model studying the evolution of insect PRs, a large number have been identified functionally characterized in different moth species. were initially thought to fall into single monophyletic clade odorant receptor (OR) family, but recent studies shown that ORs another lineage also bind type‐I sex pheromones, which indicates multiple...
The intricate relationships between plants and insects are essential for understanding ecological dynamics. Among these interactions, HIPVs serve as a pivotal defense mechanism. Our findings reveal the highly conserved nature of GOX gene within Lepidoptera order, expressed in salivary glands S. frugiperda, its role mediating maize’s responses. Notably, activity expression significantly decreases subsequent knockout. presence saliva frugiperda modulates emission during maize consumption. This...
Here, we evaluated the uptake and biotransformation mechanism of systemic fungicide phenamacril in hydroponic/soil–plant systems. Phenamacril was preferentially accumulated shoots with translocation factor up to 3.5 (or 6.9) wheat rice) during 144 h kinetic experiment. Apart from upward xylem translocation, could also be redistributed roots (0.4%) through phloem transport then released into rhizosphere surrounding solution (1.7%) plant excretion via a split-root Then, 76.4% 70.4%)...
The atmospheric corrosion of epoxy prime coated aluminum alloy 7075-T6 exposed for 7, 12 and 20 years was investigated. remaining thicknesses coatings macroscopically intact coating areas followed a normal distribution decreased linearly. EIS results demonstrated that the resistance with exposure time. After exposure, had lost its protection as cracks existed within exfoliation occurred on substrate. substrate sensitive to through metallographic TEM analysis. products were mainly hydroxides...
Abstract The sweet potato weevil ( Cylas formicarius ) is a critical pest producing enormous global losses in crops. Traditional management approaches for weevil, primarily using chemical pesticides, causes pollution, food safety issues, and harming natural enemies. While RNA interference (RNAi) promising environmentally friendly approach to control, its efficacy controlling the has not been extensively studied. In this study, we selected potential target C. , Troponin I gene wupA ), which...
Abstract The spotted alfalfa aphid (SAA, Therioaphis trifolii ) (Hemiptera: Aphididae) is a destructive pest of cultivated ( Medicago sativa L.) that leads to large financial losses in the livestock industry around world. Here, we present chromosome-scale genome assembly T. , first for subfamily Calaphidinae. Using PacBio long-read sequencing, Illumina and Hi-C scaffolding techniques, 541.26 Mb was generated, with 90.01% anchored into eight scaffolds, contig scaffold N50 are 2.54 44.77 Mb,...

Benzothiazole has been found induce oviposition behavior the gravid B. dorsalis. However, ecological roles olfactory receptor responsible benzothiazole are not yet fully understood. In this study, we that adults were attracted benzothiazole, which was an effective stimulant. vitro experiments showed...
Alternative splicing is an essential post-transcriptional regulatory mechanism that diversifies gene function by generating multiple protein isoforms from a single and act as crucial role in insect environmental adaptation. Olfaction, key sense for adaptation, relies heavily on the antennae, which are primary olfactory organs expressing most of genes. Despite extensive annotation genes within antennal tissues facilitated high-throughput sequencing technology advancements, systematic analyses...

In insects, the odorant receptor (OR) multigene family evolves by birth-and-death evolutionary model, according to which OR repertoire of each species has undergone specific gene gains and losses depending on their chemical environment, resulting in taxon-specific lineage radiations with different sizes phylogenetic trees. Despite general divergence across insect orders, ORs moths seem be genetically conserved species, clustered into 23 major clades containing multiple orthologous groups...
