Temporal interference (TI) stimulation, a novel non-invasive stimulation strategy, has recently been shown to modulate neural activity in deep brain regions of living mice. Yet, it is uncertain if this method applicable larger brains and whether the electric field produced under traditional safety currents can penetrate as observed Despite recent model-based simulation studies offering positive evidence at both macro- micro-scale levels, absence electrophysiological data from actual hinders...
Abstract BACKGROUND The Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri , is one of the major pests in citrus‐growing areas around world. application insecticides most effective method to reduce population D. . However, has developed resistance multiple classes insecticides. Understanding mechanisms crucial management In this study, molecular assays were performed characterize imidacloprid mechanisms. RESULTS Based on transcriptome database and other known insect genes, 16 cytochrome P450, eight...
Intercropping can reduce agricultural pest incidence and represents an important sustainable alternative to conventional control methods. Citrus intercropped with guava (Psidium guajava L.) has a lower of Asian citrus psyllid (ACP, Diaphorina citri Kuwayama) huanglongbing disease (HLB), but the mechanisms are still unknown. In this study, we tested whether volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted by plants play role in plant-plant communications trigger defense responses sweet orange...
Neuropeptides are endogenous active substances that widely exist in multicellular biological nerve tissue and participate the function of nervous system, most them act on neuropeptide receptors. In insects, neuropeptides their receptors play important roles controlling a multitude physiological processes. this project, we sequenced transcriptome from twelve tissues Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri Kuwayama. A total 40 candidate genes 42 receptor were identified. Among genes, 35 belong...
ABSTRACT Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is known to regulate bone homeostasis; however, its functional role as a risk factor during osteoarthritis (OA) remains elusive. In this study, we aim investigate the direct effect of NPY on degradation cartilage and progression OA explore molecular events involved. was overexpressed in human accompanied with increased expression NPY1 receptor (NPY1R) NPY2 (NPY2R). Stressors such cold exposure resulted peripheral release from sympathetic nerves, which turn...
Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) is a neurotransmitter that primarily functions as vasodilator. VIP plays its role through binding to receptors known VIP/pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating (VPACs). In this study, we examined the expression of VPAC1 in human colon cancer tissues, analyzed relationship between and malignancy, explored possible mechanisms using immunohistochemistry immunofluorescence double staining. The results showed (1) poorly differentiated cancers have significantly...
Intercropping with guava (Psidium guajava L.) can assist the management of Asian citrus psyllid (ACP, Diaphorina citri Kuwayama), insect vector huanglongbing pathogen, in orchards. Sulfur volatiles have a repellent activity and physiological effects, as well being important components volatiles. In this study, we tested whether sulfur emitted by plants play role plant–plant communications trigger anti-herbivore activities against ACP sweet orange (Citrus sinensis L. Osbeck). Real-time...
The Asian citrus psyllid (ACP), Diaphorina citri Kuwayama (Hemiptera: Psyllidae), is a prominent pest of because it transmits Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus associated with huanglongbing. Phototactic behavior ubiquitously exists in insects and plays essential roles host-searching mate-searching ACP. However, its mechanism has remained unclear to date. In this paper, molecular assays were performed understand the relation between opsins phototactic ACP.We cloned five opsin genes analyzed...
Abstract BACKGROUND The Asian citrus psyllid (ACP), Diaphorina citri , is one of the major pests in production because it transmits huanglongbing, a devastating disease plants. Odourant‐binding proteins (OBPs) play an important role olfactory perception insects. Revealing function DcitOBPs beneficial to development new ACP management strategies. RESULTS An analysis components volatiles from shoots six host plant species showed that β‐caryophyllene was characteristic volatile compound...
Abstract Friedreich ataxia (FRDA) is a serious hereditary neurodegenerative disease, mostly accompanied with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, caused by the reduced expression of frataxin (FXN). However, there still no effective treatment. Our previous studies have shown that SS-31, mitochondrion-targeted peptide, capable to upregulate FXN and improve mitochondrial function in cells derived from FRDA patients. To further explore potential we used GAA expansion-based models, including Y47 YG8R...
The biogenic amine octopamine (OA, invertebrate counterpart of noradrenaline) plays critical roles in the regulation olfactory behavior. Historically, OA has been thought to mediate appetitive but not aversive learning honeybees, fruit flies (Drosophila), and crickets. However, this viewpoint recently challenged because activity through a β-adrenergic-like receptor drives both learning. Here, we explored neurons memory retrieval Bactrocera dorsalis. We trained associate an orange odor with...
We report the infestation of small hive beetle, Aethina tumida, in a honeybee, Apis cerana, South China. This is first record for domestic Chinese honey bee infested with beetle.
As a representative of Chinese alcoholic drinks, baijiu has developed into mass-consumption commodity. Its simple industrial chain makes it suitable target for fraudsters. In order to understand the differences and potential factors fraud vulnerability among groups at various levels, this study constructed food assessment system supply based on routine activities theory. We examined in with data from 243 producers 45 retailers by using safe affordable everywhere (SSAFE) (FFVA) tool. The...
The oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis is one of the most destructive pests horticultural crops in tropical and subtropical Asia. insect relies heavily on its olfactory system to select suitable hosts for development reproduction. To understand neural basis odor-driven behaviors, it fundamental characterize anatomy system. In this study, we investigated anatomical organization antennal lobe (AL), primary center, B. dorsalis, constructed a 3D glomerular atlas AL based synaptic antibody...
The red imported fire ant (RIFA), Solenopsis invicta, is an invasive pest that causes damage to agricultural and ecological environments worldwide. Fluralaner a new isoxazoline pesticide with the potential become control agent against RIFA. However, it not clear whether S. invicta responds same way fluralaner at different reproductive stages. present study firstly evaluated toxicity of developmental stages, finding fourth instar larvae (LD50, 1744.23 mg/kg) worker ants 8.62 were differently...
