Helicoverpa armigera and zea are major caterpillar pests of Old New World agriculture, respectively. Both, particularly H. armigera, extremely polyphagous, has developed resistance to many insecticides. Here we use comparative genomics, transcriptomics resequencing elucidate the genetic basis for their properties as pests.
Emergence of polyphagous herbivorous insects entails significant adaptation to recognize, detoxify and digest a variety host-plants. Despite its biological practical importance - since eat 20% crops no exhaustive analysis gene repertoires required for adaptations in generalist insect herbivores has previously been performed. The noctuid moth Spodoptera frugiperda ranks as one the world's worst agricultural pests. This is while majority other lepidopteran are specialist. It consists two...
Brassicaceae (Cruciferae) are ostensibly defended in part against generalist insect herbivores by toxic isothiocyanates formed when protoxic glucosinolates hydrolysed. Based on an analysis of published host records, feeding Brassicas is widespread both specialist and generalists the Lepidoptera. The polyphagous noctuid moth Helicoverpa armigera recorded as a pest some we attempted to improve performance artificial selection to, part, determine if this contributes status. Assays cabbage kale...
Phage display libraries have been used to isolate insect gut binding peptides for use as pathogen transmission blocking agents, and provide artificial anchors increased toxicity of bacteria-derived pesticidal proteins. Previously, phage clones displaying enriched were sequenced by Sanger sequencing. Here we present a streamlined protocol identification peptides, using insect-appropriate feeding strategies, with next generation sequencing tailored bioinformatics analyses. The pipeline is...
Abstract Background The Glanville fritillary (Melitaea cinxia) butterfly is a model system for metapopulation dynamics research in fragmented landscapes. Here, we provide chromosome-level assembly of the butterfly's genome produced from Pacific Biosciences sequencing pool males, combined with linkage map population crosses. Results final size 484 Mb an increase 94 on previously published genome. Estimation completeness BUSCO indicates that contains 92–94% genes complete and single copies. We...
Herbivorous insects have more difficulty obtaining proteins from their food than do predators and parasites. The scarcity of in diet requires herbivores to feed voraciously, thus heavily damaging host plants. Plants respond herbivory by producing defense compounds, which reduce insect growth, retard development, increase mortality. Herbivores use both pre- postdigestive response mechanisms detect avoid plant compounds. Proteinase inhibitors (PIs) are one example compounds produced as a...

Abstract The Glanville fritillary ( Melitaea cinxia ) butterfly is a long-term model system for metapopulation dynamics research in fragmented landscapes. Here, we provide chromosome level assembly of the butterfly’s genome produced from Pacific Biosciences sequencing pool males, combined with linkage map population crosses. final size 484 Mb an increase 94 on previously published genome.
