Abstract Mythimna separata and loreyi are global pests of gramineous cereals, heavily controlled with synthetic insecticides. Here, we generated two high‐quality chromosome‐level genome assemblies for M. (688 Mb) (683 Mb). Our analysis identified Z W chromosomes, few genes abundant transposable elements (TEs) found on the chromosome. We also observed a recent explosion long interspersed nuclear (LINEs), which contributed to larger genomes . The armyworms diverged ~10.5 MYA, only three...

Abstract By using immunostaining and three-dimensional reconstruction, the anatomical organization of antennal lobe glomeruli female cotton bollworm Helicoverpa armigera was investigated. Eighty-one were identified, 15 which not previously discovered. The general AL is similar to that male all classified into four sub-groups, including female-specific glomerular complex, posterior labial-palp pit organ glomerulus, ordinary glomeruli. A global-wide comparison on complete map performed for...

In insects, the number and specificity of antennal lobe glomeruli often reflect diversity expressed chemosensory genes, which are linked to its ecological niche specific olfactory needs. The oriental armyworm, Mythimna separata, is an important common lepidopteran pest cereal crops. Given reliance on system for crucial behaviors, understanding evolutionary potential this requires a thorough characterization anatomical structure primary center. Here, we systematically identified all M....

The olfactory system of insects is essential in many crucial behaviors, such as host seeking, mate recognition, and locating oviposition sites. Lepidopteran moths possess two main organs, including antennae labial palps. Compared to antennae, the palps are relatively specific worthy further investigation due labial-palp pit organ (LPO), which contains a large number sensilla located on tip segment. fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda , worldwide lepidopteran pest, can damage more than 350...

The mirid bug Apolygus lucorum (Meyer-Dür), a polyphagous pest, is dependent on olfactory cues to locate various host plant species and mates. In this study, we traced the projection pathway of antennal sensory neurons visualized their patterns in central nervous system A. through confocal microscopy digital reconstructions. We also examined glomerular organization primary center brain, lobe, created three-dimensional model glomeruli. found that axons project into brain via ipsilateral...

The oriental armyworm, Mythimna separata (Walker), is a polyphagous, migratory pest relying on olfactory cues to find mates, locate nectar, and guide long-distance flight behavior. In the present study, combination of neuroanatomical techniques were utilized this species, including backfills, confocal microscopy, three-dimensional reconstructions, trace central projections sensory neurons from antenna labial pit organ, respectively. As previously shown, axons project via ipsilateral nerve...

The anatomical organization of distinct regions in the insect brain often reflects their functions. In present study, structure Apolygus lucorum was examined by using immunolabeling and three-dimensional reconstruction. results revealed location volume prominent neuropils, such as antennal lobes (AL), optic (OL), anterior tubercles (AOTU), central body (CB), lateral accessory (LAL), mushroom lobes, tritocerebral neuropils. As expected, this is similar to that other insects. One exception,...

Summary The pollens which are rejected or ignored by the dry stigma can’t germinate since they haven’t acquired sugar solution from stigmas. But almost all research has participation of insects may transport nectar to stigmas, and that on have soaked in nectar. So, key question is whether carry stigma. Since adult Lepidoptera important plant pollination there a general consensus mainly deposited proboscis Lepidoptera, ubiquitous field flowers, we simulated flower environment conduct several...
