RNA interference (RNAi) has been proposed as a promising strategy for sustainable and ecofriendly pest control. The insect cuticle lipids were deposited on the body surface functioned defense against chemical xenobiotics. They consisted of aliphatic compounds, including free fatty acids (FFAs). However, elongase very long chain (ELOs) is essential FFA biosynthesis; function ELO still unknown in many arthropods, Panonychus citri (P. citri). In this study, three ELOs cloned....
Fatty acid synthase (FAS) is a vital enzyme required for synthesis of unsaturated fatty acids which play important roles in many physiological processes. However, the function FAS lipid metabolism and reproduction Panonychus citri adult female, its potential mite control remain unclear. In this study, complementary DNA (cDNA) PcFAS was obtained contained nine conservative functional domains. The highest expression level female. RNA interference silencing females resulted lethal phenotype,...
Mandibular prognathism is a facial skeletal malocclusion. Until now, the genetic mechanism has been unclear. The goal of this study was to identify candidate genes or genomic regions directly associated with mandibular development, by employing whole genome sequencing. A large Chinese family recruited, composed 9 affected and 12 unaffected individuals, inheritance pattern tends be autosomal dominant. single-nucleotide missense mutation in ADAMTS1 gene (c. 742I>T) found segregate family,...
Silencing specific genes in pests using RNA interference (RNAi) technology is a promising new pest-control strategy. The Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri Kuwayama, the most important pest because it transmits Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus, which causes huanglongbing. Chitin essential for insect development, and enzymes this pathway are attractive targets control.The hexokinase gene DcHK was characterized from D. to impair proper growth chitin synthesis through RNAi. transcription...
is a worldwide citrus pest that currently controlled through the use of insecticides. However, alternative strategies are required to manage
Diaphorina citri Kuwayama is the vector of citrus "huanglongbing", a disease which poses significant threat to global industry. Trehalose-6-phosphate synthase (TPS) plays an important role in regulation trehalose levels insects, while its functions D. are unclear. In this study, full-length cDNA sequences TPS gene from (DcTPS) were cloned and expression patterns at various developmental stages investigated. The results indicated that DcTPS mRNA was expressed each stage highest found...
Spodoptera frugiperda, one of the most destructive corn pests in world, invaded China December 2018. In this study, sublethal concentrations (LC10 and LC30) emamectin benzoate (EB) were used to treat pesticide-free treatment (PFT) EB (ET) S. frugiperda. PFT, compared with control (CK), pupal weight, hatching rate, pupation rate LC10 LC30 groups significantly reduced. The fecundity expression vitellogenin gene (SfVg) decreased after treatment, while showed no significant difference from...
Memory performance, brain excitatory amino acid and acetylcholinesterase activity of chronically aluminum (Al) exposed mice in response to soy isoflavones (SI) treatment was investigated the study. Forty eight were allotted randomly into a control group, an Al group (100 mg/kg Al) treated with SI + 60 SI) for days. Chronic exposure significantly impaired long memory performance as assessed using passive avoidance task test (χ(2) analysis, p < 0.05). Interestingly, markedly improved score...
Panonychus citri, a major citrus pest. In pest management, bifenazate is novel acaricide with high biological activity against red mites, such as Tetranychus urticae Koch. However, in the field, pests are frequently exposed to sublethal or lethal concentrations of pesticides. At present, its effects on P. citri have not been reported. Therefore, order investigate effect traits and enzymatic properties citri. The newly emerged females were treated two bifenazate: LC10 LC30, development...
Summary Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products of MSTN gene amplified from 35 goats representing 17 Chinese indigenous goat breeds and five imported were sequenced to identify the single‐nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) a 379‐bp fragment including part intron 2 exon 3 gene. A total eight SNPs (A1980G, G1981C, A1982G, G1984T, A2121G, T2124C, G2174A A2246G) identified among goats. The found are all located in except for A2246G, which was synonymous mutation 3. Four haplotypes sorted these...
To know the genetic structure and phylogeny status, complete mitochondrial genome of Thitarodes pui was first time to be sequenced. The 15,064 bp in length contained 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA 22 tRNA as well an AT rich region. base composition A (40.93%), T (39.80%), C (11.72%) G (7.55%), with content 80.73%. It is interesting that COI would start CGA. order between ND2 region tRNAIle–tRNAGln–tRNAMet, which confirms thesis has ancestral gene arrangement. surprised AT-rich 287 became...
Abstract Tetranychus cinnabarinus (Boisduval), a worldwide acarine pest, has garnered significant attention in recent studies, particularly regarding the role of ecdysteroids. Ecdysteroids (moulting hormone) played key roles regulating important physiological processes arthropods, such as ecdysis, metamorphosis reproduction and immunity. However, underlying mechanisms ecdysteroid biosynthesis signalling have not been elucidated T. . Therefore, this study, we utilized RACE technology...
In this study, the first complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of mold mite, Tyrophagus putrescentiae was determined by long PCR and primer walking methods. The mitogenome 13,288 bp in length, including 13 typical invertebrate protein-coding genes, 18 transfer RNA genes 2 ribosomal genes. overall base composition heavy strand is 22.5% A, 48.2% T, 13.2% C 16.1% G, with a A+T bias. Stop codon incomplete for ND4 gene ND2. Gene overlaps were observed between 12 pairs contiguous T....
The toxicity of insecticides used in the field decreases gradually to sublethal concentrations over time. Therefore, it is necessary study effects pesticides for controlling population explosion. Panonychus citri a global pest which control based on insecticides. This explores stress responses spirobudiclofen P. citri. Spirobudiclofen significantly inhibited survival and reproduction citri, aggravated as concentration increased. transcriptomes metabolomes spirobudiclofen-treated were...
