Abstract RNA interference (RNAi) is a very effective technique for studying gene function and may be an efficient method controlling pests. Trehalose-6-phosphate synthase ( TPS ), which plays key role in the synthesis of trehalose insect development, was cloned Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) TcTPS ) putative functions were studied using RNAi via injection double-stranded (dsRNA) corresponding to conserved trehalose-6-phosphate phosphatase domains. Expression analyses show that expressed higher...
Flour beetles of the genus Tribolium are all pests stored products and cause severe economic losses every year. The American black flour beetle audax is one important pest species beetle, it also an quarantine insect. Here we sequenced characterized complete mitochondrial genome T. audax, which was intercepted by Huangpu Custom in maize from America. circular (mitogenome) 15,924 bp length, containing 37 typical coding genes non-coding AT-rich region. mitogenome exhibits a gene arrangement...
Flour beetles of the genus Tribolium are economically important as destructive cosmopolitan pests stored flour, corn, peanuts, and other dried agricultural products. The confused flour beetle confusum Jacquelin du Val (1868) is one most pest species beetle. Here we sequenced characterized complete mitochondrial genome T. confusum, entire sequence 15,813 bp in size with 72.8% AT content. It consists 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA (tRNA), 2 ribosomal (rRNA) major non-coding...
Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) represent a group of neurodevelopmental defects characterized by social deficits and repetitive behaviors. Alteration in Glycosylation patterns could influence the nervous system development contribute to molecular mechanism ASD. Interaction environmental factors with susceptible genes may affect expressions glycosylation-related thus result abnormal glycosylation patterns. Here, we used an factor-induced model autism single intraperitoneal injection 400 mg/kg...
The complete circular mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Coptotermes testaceus is 15 752bp in size, containing 37 typical genes and one non-coding AT-rich region. AT content the region 68.3%. All protein coding (PCGs) start with standard ATN initiation codons end termination TAA or TAG except for cox2, atp8, nad5 using an incomplete stop codon T. tRNA are predicted a characteristic cloverleaf secondary structure trnS1(AGN), whose dihydrouridine (DHU) arm replaced by simple loop. size large...
The digestive tract of insects from mouth to anus is the crop, proventriculus, gastric caecum, midgut, ileum, colon and rectum, Malpighian tubules attached ileum belong excretory organs. As main organs for digesting food absorbing nutrients, structure insect inevitably adapted feeding habits. Among Orthoptera, tracts phytophagous locusts carnivorous katydids have been studied their adaptations habits, while omnivorous less studied. In order systematically study ground-nesting this was...
Beetles in the weevil subfamily Platypodinae are among dominant groups of insects wet tropical forests, which together with bark and ambrosia beetles Scolytinae. Easily recognised by circle-shaped entrance holes fallen logs a very elongated body shape, they have earned common name, “pinhole borers”. All except two species that cultivate fungi wood tunnels as sole food for their larvae. is peculiar excavated dead wood. The likely oldest known lineage fungus-cultivating insects, an origin...
Ptinus japonicus Reitter is a subversive pest of stored-product throughout the world. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to observe antennal morphology and sensilla ultrastructure in both sexes this pest. The antennae P. are filiform that comprised scape, pedicel flagellum with nine flagellomeres. Six types were identified, including Böhm (Bs), two subtypes basiconica (SbI-II), styloconica (Sst), four chaetica (SchI-IV), coeloconica (Sco), trichodea (St I-II). exhibit obvious sexual...
