The leaf beetle Ambrostoma quadriimpressum (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) is a predominant forest pest that causes substantial damage to the lumber industry and city management. However, no effective environmentally friendly chemical method has been discovered control this pest. Until recently, molecular basis of olfactory system in A. was completely unknown. In study, antennae leg transcriptomes were analyzed compared using deep sequencing data identify genes quadriimpressum. Moreover,...
Vertical heterostructures of two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) provide a prospective foreground for practical applications via combining novel physical characteristics that are distinguished from those traditional counterparts. Here, we report the position-selective growth 2D WS2-based vertical heterostructures, including WS2/MoS2, WS2/MoS2-Mo0.42W0.58S2, WS2/MoS2-Mo1–xWxS2 (0.4 ≤ x 0.85), and WS2/Mo1–xWxS2 (0 0.76), with WS2 monolayer as top layer by one-step...
The meadow moth, Loxostege sticticalis, is a typical agricultural pest that uses sex pheromones to mediate mating behavior; however, the mechanism underlying selectivity of its pheromone-binding proteins (PBPs) remains unknown. In this study, LstiPBP1 and LstiPBP3 were cloned, expressed, purified, fluorescence binding assay showed binds major pheromone component, E-11-tetradecenol (E11-14:OH), with high affinity; moreover, E11-14:OH could evoke significant antennal electrophysiological...
Abstract Background The fall webworm Hyphantria cunea is an invasive and polyphagous defoliator pest that feeds on nearly any type of deciduous tree worldwide. silk web H. aids its aggregating behavior, provides thermal regulation regarded as one causes for rapid spread. In addition, both chemosensory detoxification genes are vital host adaptation in insects. Results Here, a high-quality genome was obtained. Silk-web-related were identified from the genome, successful silencing protein gene...
Carbon dioxide (CO2) released by plants can serve as a cue for regulating insect behaviors. Hyphantria cunea is widely distributed forestry pest that may use CO2 foraging and oviposition. However, the molecular mechanism underlying its ability to sense has not been elucidated. Our initial study showed significantly attractive H. adults. Subsequently, 44 gustatory receptors (GRs) were identified using transcriptome data, 3 candidate are specifically expressed in labial palps identified. In...
In this study, the most abundant and antenna-specific odorant-binding protein (OBP) of elm pest A. quadriimpressum, AquaOBP4, was expressed purified. The selectivity AquaOBP4 investigated by screening against a panel 40 habitat-relevant compounds. Based on obtained results, homologous model established. This indicated that is highly to DmelOBP LUSH includes two main binding sites. A docking analysis showed four five active ligands bound at Site 1, whereas other ligand situated 2....
Ensifera is an extremely diverse group in the order Orthoptera, and it has been subject of considerable research, especially terms phylogeny bioacoustics. Katydids are known for using high-frequency broadband signals whereas most cricket songs pure tones with a frequency range 2–8 kHz. Pseudophyllus titan special katydid emits low-frequency tone similar to that crickets. Acoustic communication were widely studied, but song evolution could deserve new examination taking into account newly...
The use of essential oils derived from the camphor tree to repel mosquitoes is an ancient practice that originated in Southeast Asia and gradually spread China across Europe via Maritime Silk Road. olfactory mechanisms by which these elicit avoidance behavior are unclear. Here we show plant bicyclic monoterpenoids borneol specifically activate a neural pathway originates orphan receptor neuron capitate peg sensillum maxillary palp, projects mediodorsal glomerulus 3 antennal lobe. This...
Insects heavily rely on the olfactory system for food, mating, and predator evasion. However, caste-related differences in Apis cerana, a eusocial insect, remain unclear. To explore peripheral primary center of link to caste dimorphism A. transcriptome immunohistochemistry studies odorant receptors (ORs) architecture antennal lobes (ALs) were performed different castes. Through transcriptomesis, we found more receptor genes queens workers than drones, which further validated by RT-qPCR,...
Abstract Using scanning electron microscope, eight types of sensilla were found on the antennae all castes in Bombus species (Hymenoptera: Apidae) collected Jilin Province, China. The numbers various antennal analyzed by rough set data analysis method to determine which sensillum type might be useful and caste discrimination. results showed that number basiconica A, B (s. t. a, s. b), trichodea B, C/ D b, c/ d) placodea p) can used discrimination, whereas only b are relevant Other had a...
This study focuses on the proventriculus and alimentary canal of twenty Tettigoniidae species among three subfamilies, Tettigoniinae, Phaneropterinae Conocephalinae. Each part inner structure were examined under optic microscope scanning electron microscopy. As a result, length each highly associated with feeding habits. Carnivorous always had short foregut long cilia base sclerotized appendix in proventriculus, whereas herbivorous longer proventriculus. These results increase understanding...
The leaf beetle Ambrostoma quadriimpressum Motschulsky (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) is a major pest of elm (Ulmus; Rosales: Ulmaceae) in eastern Asia, and there currently no effective, environmentally friendly, chemical method for its control. In this study, we measured A. adults' electrophysiological behavioral responses to 13 compounds, including 6 plant volatiles (linalool, α-pinene, methyl salicylate, indole, di-n-octyl phthalate, dimethyl naphthalene), 4 semiochemicals (benzyl alcohol,...
The present study compares the proventricular morphology, analyzed under optic microscope and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), among ten Grylloidea species. result showed that size of proventriculus was critical value. Internally, main differences were number sclerotized appendix (sa), middle denticles (md) lateral (ld), structure teeth (lt). In addition, we crickets’ feeding habits note possesses highly projections which act in selection victuals. morphology is closely related to habits....
We present an analysis of the calling songs species Metrioptera bicolor isolated from different locations within Northeast China illustrating intraspecies song divergence. Recording and male some acoustic characters were performed five morphological traits M. examined under stereoscope microscope scanning electron microscope. A cluster was made based on properties morphology stridulatory organs. All traits, except pulse number per group, differ distinctly collected at localities, while each...
