Locusts are one of the world's most destructive agricultural pests and represent a useful model system in entomology. Here we present draft 6.5 Gb genome sequence Locusta migratoria, which is largest animal sequenced so far. Our findings indicate that large size L. migratoria likely to be because transposable element proliferation combined with slow rates loss for these elements. Methylome transcriptome analyses reveal complex regulatory mechanisms involved microtubule dynamic-mediated...
Behavioral plasticity is the most striking trait in locust phase transition. However, genetic basis for behavioral locusts largely unknown. To unravel molecular mechanisms underlying change migratory Locusta migratoria, gene expression patterns over time courses of solitarization and gregarization were compared by oligonucleotide microarray analysis. Data analysis revealed that several categories relevant to peripheral olfactory perception are strongly regulated a total 1,444 differentially...
Locusts exhibit remarkable density-dependent phenotype (phase) changes from the solitary to gregarious, making them one of most destructive agricultural pests. This polyphenism arises a single genome and diverse transcriptomes in different conditions. Here we report de novo transcriptome for migratory locust comprehensive, representative core gene set. We carried out assembly 21.5 Gb Illumina reads, generated 72,977 transcripts with N50 2,275 bp identified 11,490 protein-coding genes....
Current paradigms generally assume that increased plant nitrogen (N) should enhance herbivore performance by relieving protein limitation, increasing herbivorous insect populations. We show, in contrast to this scenario, host N enrichment and high-protein artificial diets decreased the size viability of Oedaleus asiaticus, a dominant locust north Asian grasslands. This preferred plants with low content high carbohydrate content. Plant was lowest abundance highest heavily livestock-grazed...
The migratory locust, Locusta migratoria, is the most widely distributed grasshopper species in world. However, its global genetic structure and phylogeographic relationships have not been investigated. In this study, we explored worldwide phylogeography of locust populations based on sequence information 65 complete mitochondrial genomes three genes 263 individuals from 53 sampling sites. Although can migrate over long distances, our results revealed high differentiation among geographic...
The migratory locust is one of the most notorious agricultural pests that undergo a well known reversible, density-dependent phase transition from solitary to gregarious. To demonstrate underlying molecular mechanisms change, we generated 76,012 ESTs whole body and dissected organs in two phases. Comparing 12,161 unigene clusters, identified 532 genes as phase-related ( P < 0.01). Comprehensive assessment expression revealed that, whereas various categories hind legs midgut are...
In response to insect attack and mechanical wounding, plants activate the expression of genes involved in various defense-related processes. A fascinating feature these inducible defenses is their occurrence both locally at wounding site systemically undamaged leaves throughout plant. Wound-inducible proteinase inhibitors (PIs) tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) provide an attractive model understand signal transduction events leading from localized injury systemic genes. Among identified...
Bulk quantities of hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) nanosheets have been synthesized via a simple template- and catalyst-free chemical vapor deposition process at 1100−1300 °C. Adjusting the synthesis reaction parameters, thickness BN can be tuned in range 25−50 nm. Fourier transform infrared spectra electron energy loss reveal typical nature sp2-hybridization for nanosheets. It shows an onset oxidation temperature 850 °C compared with only about 400 that carbon nanotubes under same...
Abstract Background All the reports on insect small RNAs come from holometabolous insects whose genome sequence data are available. Therefore, study of hemimetabolous could provide more insights into evolution and function in insects. The locust is an important, economically harmful insect. Its phase changes, as a phenotypic plasticity, result differential gene expression potentially regulated at both post-transcriptional level, mediated by RNAs, transcriptional level. Results Here, using...
The migratory locust, Locusta migratoria , shows a striking phenotypic plasticity. It transitions between solitary and gregarious phases in response to population density changes. However, the molecular mechanism underlying phase-dependent behavior changes remains elusive. Here we report genome-wide gene expression profiling of nymphs at each stadium identified most differentially expressed genes fourth two phases. Bioinformatics analysis indicated that catecholamine metabolic pathway was...
Abstract To restrict pathogen entry, plants close stomata as an integral part of innate immunity. counteract this defense, Pseudomonas syringae pv tomato produces coronatine (COR), which mimics jasmonic acid (JA), to reopen for bacterial entry. It is believed that abscisic (ABA) plays a central role in regulating bacteria-triggered stomatal closure and reopening requires the JA/COR pathway, but downstream signaling events remain unclear. We studied immunity (Solanum lycopersicum) report here...
Rationale: Excessive myocardial fibrosis is the main pathological process in development of cardiac remodeling and heart failure; therefore, it important to prevent excessive fibrosis. We determined that microRNA-378 (miR-378) cardiac-enriched highly repressed during remodeling. therefore proposed miR-378 has a critical role regulation fibrosis, examined effects on after mechanical stress. Methods: Mechanical stress was respectively imposed mice through transverse aortic constriction (TAC)...
Micro RNA s play pivotal roles in cancer stem cell regulation. Previous studies have shown that micro ‐34a (miR‐34a) is downregulated human breast cancer. However, it unknown whether and how miR‐34a regulates cells. Notch signaling one of the most important pathways maintenance function. In this study, we verified directly functionally targeted Notch1 MCF ‐7 We reported negatively regulated proliferation, migration, invasion propagation by downregulating Notch1. The expression was correlated...
