TL;DR: The first genome sequence of a nondipteran insect vector of an important human parasitic disease is described, which provides critical information on the physiology and evolution of this important vector species and should be instrumental for the development of innovative disease control methods.
Journal ArticleDOI
The gap gene giant of Rhodnius prolixus is maternally expressed and required for proper head and abdomen formation
TL;DR: It is concluded that Rp-gt is a gap gene on the head and abdomen and, in addition, has a function in patterning the anterior head capsule suggesting that the function of gt in hemipterans is more similar to dipterans than expected.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nezara viridula (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) transcriptomic analysis and neuropeptidomics.
Andrés Lavore,Lucila Perez-Gianmarco,Natalia Esponda-Behrens,Victorio Palacio,Maria Ines Catalano,Rolando Rivera-Pomar,Sheila Ons +6 more
TL;DR: This work sequenced and analyzed the complete transcriptome of Nezara viridula, finding both group-specific features (which could be related to the different feeding habits) and similarities that could be characteristic of Heteroptera.
Journal ArticleDOI
The gap gene Krüppel of Rhodnius prolixus is required for segmentation and for repression of the homeotic gene sex comb-reduced
TL;DR: The genomic sequence upstream of the Rp-Kr transcriptional unit shows a putative regulatory region conserved in the orthologue genes from Drosophila melanogaster and Tribolium castaneum.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative analysis of zygotic developmental genes in Rhodnius prolixus genome shows conserved features on the tracheal developmental pathway.
Andrés Lavore,Agustina Pascual,Agustina Pascual,F.M. Salinas,Natalia Esponda-Behrens,Jesús Martínez-Barnetche,Marta Rodríguez,Rolando Rivera-Pomar,Rolando Rivera-Pomar +8 more
TL;DR: The results represent the initial characterization of the genes involved in the tracheal development of an hemimetabolous insect building a bridge between the current genomic era and V. Wigglesworth's classical studies on insects' respiratory system physiology.
