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/metamorphosis process. We, therefore present
here a comprehensiv... 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

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 characterization of two molecular
forms of An. gambiae, named M‐form and S‐form, which in Mali correspond to Mopti
and to Sava... 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 annotation of functional
genomic data... 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 Ae. aegypti genome. A BlastN search in VectorBase
with the e... hiện toàn bộ
Drosophila melanogaster mitochondrial DNA: hoàn thành chuỗi nucleotide và so sánh tiến hóa Dịch bởi AI Insect Molecular Biology - Tập 4 Số 4 - Trang 263-278 - 1995

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. Manipulated males were sacrificed at premoult
or early pos... 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 species had not been
described previously as infected. In particular, althoughPieris rapae, which is
a common species ... hiện toàn bộ
