Molecular characteristics of insect vitellogenins
Muhammad Tufail,Makio Takeda +1 more
TL;DR: Phylogenetic analysis using 31 Vg sequences from 25 insect species reflects, in general, the current phylogenies of insects, suggesting that Vgs are still phylogenetically bound, although a divergence exists among them.
Journal ArticleDOI
Insect vitellogenin/lipophorin receptors: molecular structures, role in oogenesis, and regulatory mechanisms.
Muhammad Tufail,Makio Takeda +1 more
TL;DR: The expression studies clearly demonstrate that insect VgRs are ovary-bound receptors of the LDLR family as compared to LpRs, which are transcribed in a wide range of tissues including ovary, fat body, midgut, brain, testis, Malpighian tubules, and muscles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Regulation of vitellogenin genes in insects
TL;DR: The role of Vg genes as a target of endocrine disruptors will be addressed, and the molecular mechanism of Vn gene regulation will be discussed, which is the main nutritional reserve for the developing embryo.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structure and expressions of two circadian clock genes, period and timeless in the commercial silkmoth, Bombyx mori.
TL;DR: The data show that photoperiod differentially affects the temporal expression patterns of Bmper and Bmtim, and a high degree of conservation among insects for both genes is revealed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biology and predation of the Japanese strain of Neoseiulus californicus (McGregor) (Acari: Phytoseiidae)
TL;DR: The life history characteristics and predation of the Japanese Neoseiulus californicus (McGregor) strain on the two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch, were studied in the laboratory under 60–70% RH and 16L: 8D conditions to assess the effectiveness of theJapanese N. califORNicus strain as an important biological control agent against T. uricae.
