Genome of the Asian longhorned beetle (Anoplophora glabripennis), a globally significant invasive species, reveals key functional and evolutionary innovations at the beetle–plant interface

Duane D. McKenna, +70 more
- 11 Nov 2016 - 
TL;DR: Amplification and functional divergence of genes associated with specialized feeding on plants, including genes originally obtained via horizontal gene transfer from fungi and bacteria, contributed to the addition, expansion, and enhancement of the metabolic repertoire of the Asian longhorned beetle and to a lesser degree, other phytophagous insects.
Book ChapterDOI

Symbiotic solutions to nitrogen limitation and amino acid imbalance in insect diets

TL;DR: The evidence supporting prior arguments for N-centric mutualisms is described, emphasizing how a pairing of genomics and experimentation can uncover mechanism, while pinpointing just how symbiont metabolism shapes the fitness and N-budgets of diverse, herbivorous hexapods.
Journal ArticleDOI

Global analysis of dorsoventral patterning in the wasp Nasonia reveals extensive incorporation of novelty in a regulatory network

TL;DR: The development of the wasp Nasonia is developed as a comparative DV patterning model and results provide insights into how GRNs respond to new functional demands and how they can incorporate novel components.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ankyrin domain encoding genes from an ancient horizontal transfer are functionally integrated into Nasonia developmental gene regulatory networks

TL;DR: The results indicate that regulatory networks can incorporate novel genes that then become necessary for stable and repeatable outputs and even a modest role in developmental networks may be enough to allow novel or duplicate genes to be maintained in the genome and become fully integrated network components.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Effects of Different Diets and Transgenerational Stress on Acyrthosiphon pisum Development.

TL;DR: extremely high variation in the timing of developmental events and a significant delay in nymphal and pre-reproductive adult development when reared on isolated leaves and artificial diets, compared to intact host plants is found.
