Genetic-based methods offer environmentally friendly species-specific approaches for control of insect pests. One method, CRISPR homing gene drive that target genes essential development, could provide very efficient and cost-effective control. While significant progress has been made in developing drives mosquito disease vectors, little with agricultural Here, we report the development evaluation split doublesex (dsx) Drosophila suzukii, an invasive pest soft-skinned fruits. The component,...
The mosquito Aedes aegypti is an important vector of diseases including dengue, Zika, chikungunya, and yellow fever. Olfaction a critical modality for mosquitoes enabling them to locate hosts, sources nectar, sites oviposition. GABA essential neurotransmitter in olfactory processing the insect brain, primary center, antennal lobe. Previous work with Ae. has suggested that lobe inhibition via may be involved odors. However, little known about receptor expression or how they odor attraction....
The corn planthopper, Peregrinus maidis, is a vector of several maize viruses and consequently significant agricultural pest in many tropical subtropical regions. As P. maidis has developed resistance to insecticides, the aim this study was develop transgenic strains that could be used for future genetic biocontrol programs. To facilitate identification we isolated characterized promoters ubiquitin-like profilin genes. Transient expression assays with embryos showed both were active....
Abstract Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura) (Diptera: Drosophilidae), commonly called spotted wing Drosophila, is an important agricultural pest recognised worldwide. D. a of soft‐skinned fruits as females can lay eggs in ripening fruit before harvest. While strains for genetic biocontrol have been made, the development transgenic and their further screening remain challenge partly due to lack phenotypically trackable genetic‐markers, such those widely used with model organism melanogaster ....
