Most insects enter diapause, a state of physiological dormancy crucial for enduring harsh seasons, with photoperiod serving as the primary cue its induction, ensuring proper seasonal timing process. Although involvement circadian clock in photoperiodic time measurement has been demonstrated through knockdown or knockout genes, gene cryptochrome 1 (cry1), which functions photoreceptor implicated photoentrainment across various insect species, remains unclear. In bivoltine strains silkworm,...
Circadian clocks are timekeeping mechanisms that help organisms anticipate periodic alterations of day and night. These widespread, in the case animals, they rely on genetically related components. At molecular level, animal circadian clock consists several interconnected transcription-translation feedback loops. Although setup is generally conserved, some important differences exist even among various insect groups. Therefore, we decided to identify silico all major components closely genes...
Abstract Most insects enter diapause, a state of physiological dormancy crucial for enduring harsh seasons, with photoperiod serving as the primary cue its induction, ensuring proper seasonal timing process. Although involvement circadian clock in photoperiodic time measurement has been demonstrated through knockdown or knockout genes, precise molecular mechanisms this context remain unclear. In bivoltine strains silkworm, Bombyx mori , embryonic diapause is maternally controlled and...
Abstract Diapause is one of the most important traits that have sustained insects to thrive. Insects can prospectively arrest their development and increase environmental stress-resistance by entering diapause. The photoperiod signal indicates proper timing enter Circadian clock genes are shown be involved in photoperiodic diapause induction various insect species. silkworm, Bombyx mori , enters at embryonic stage. In bivoltine strains, determination affected temperature conditions during...
