Halloween genes and nuclear receptors in ecdysteroid biosynthesis and signalling in the pea aphidInsect Molecular Biology - Tập 19 Số s2 - Trang 187-200 - 2010
Olivier Christiaens, Masatoshi Iga, R. A. Velarde, Pierre Rougé, Guy Smagghe
AbstractThe pea aphid (Acyrthosiphon pisum) is the first whole genome sequenced insect with a hemimetabolic development and an emerging model organism for studies in ecology, evolution and development. The insect steroid moulting hormone 20‐hydroxyecdysone (20E) controls and coordinates development in insects, especially the moulting/meta...... hiện toàn bộ
The pyrethroid knock‐down resistance gene in the Anopheles gambiae complex in Mali and further indication of incipient speciation within An. gambiae s.s.Insect Molecular Biology - Tập 12 Số 3 - Trang 241-245 - 2003
Caterina Fanello, Vincenzo Petrarca, Alessandra della Torre, Federica Santolamazza, Guimogo Dolo, Mamadou B. Coulibaly, Ali Alloueche, C. F. Curtis, Penelope Vounatsou, M Coluzzi
AbstractIn Mali the Anopheles gambiae complex consists of An. arabiensis and Mopti, Savanna and Bamako chromosomal forms of An. gambiae s.s. Previous chromosomal data suggests a complete reproductive isolation among these forms. Sequence analysis of rDNA regions led to the characteriza...... hiện toàn bộ
Anatomical ontologies of mosquitoes and ticks, and their web browsers in VectorBaseInsect Molecular Biology - Tập 17 Số 1 - Trang 87-89 - 2008
Pantelis Topalis, C. Tzavlaki, K. Vestaki, Emmanuel Dialynas, Daniel E. Sonenshine, R. Butler, Robert V. Bruggner, E. O. Stinson, Frank H. Collins, Christos Louis
AbstractVectorBase, an integrated, relational database that manages genomic and other genetic/biological data pertaining to arthropod vectors of disease, has recently embarked on the construction of ontologies and controlled vocabularies (CVs). It aims, thus, at providing all necessary tools for the complete annotation of vector genomes and, in particular, the anno...... hiện toàn bộ
Abundant nuclear copies of mitochondrial origin (NUMTs) in the Aedes aegypti genomeInsect Molecular Biology - Tập 18 Số 6 - Trang 705-713 - 2009
William C. Black, Scott A. Bernhardt
AbstractA portion of the Aedes aegypti mitochondrial NADH dehydrogenase subunit 4 gene (ND4) was amplified using PCR with a 42 °C annealing temperature. Amplified fragments from individual mosquitoes were similar to ND4 but contained multiple segregating sites. We suspected that nuclear copies of mitochondrial origin (NUMTs) exist in the ...... hiện toàn bộ
Hepatopancreatic multi‐transcript expression patterns in the crayfish Cherax quadricarinatus during the moult cycleInsect Molecular Biology - Tập 16 Số 6 - Trang 661-674 - 2007
Yana Yudkovski, Assaf Shechter, Vered Chalifa‐Caspi, Meirav Auslander, Ron Ophir, Chantal Dauphin‐Villemant, Robert Robbins, Amir Sagi, Moshe Tom
AbstractAlterations of hepatopancreatic multi‐transcript expression patterns, related to induced moult cycle, were identified in male Cherax quadricarinatus through cDNA microarray hybridizations of hepatopancreatic transcript populations. Moult was induced by X–organ sinus gland extirpation or by repeated injections of 20‐hydroxyecdysone...... hiện toàn bộ
Distribution and prevalence ofWolbachiain Japanese populations of LepidopteraInsect Molecular Biology - Tập 13 Số 4 - Trang 359-364 - 2004
Yohsuke Tagami, Kazuki Miura
AbstractWolbachiaare cytoplasmically inherited bacteria that are reported to infect at least 18–30% of all insect species. Our survey of Lepidoptera indicated that 44.9% of forty‐nine species and 77.8% of nine families tested positive forWolbachiausing PCR withwspprimers. Nineteen spec...... hiện toàn bộ
Transgenic Drosophila reveals a functional in vivo receptor for the Bacillus thuringiensis toxin Cry1Ac1Insect Molecular Biology - Tập 11 Số 6 - Trang 619-625 - 2002
Michael B. Gill, David J. Ellar
AbstractThe bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis synthesizes toxins (δ‐endotoxins) that are highly specific for insects. Once ingested, the activated form of the toxin binds to a specific receptor(s) located on the midgut epithelial cells, inserts into the membrane causing the formation of leakage pores and eventual death of the susceptible i...... hiện toàn bộ
