Journal ArticleDOI

RNA interference in Lepidoptera: An overview of successful and unsuccessful studies and implications for experimental design

Olle Terenius, +78 more
TL;DR: Despite a large variation in the data, trends that are found are that RNAi is particularly successful in the family Saturniidae and in genes involved in immunity and that gene expression in epidermal tissues seems to be most difficult to silence.
Journal ArticleDOI

A heterozygous moth genome provides insights into herbivory and detoxification

TL;DR: The first whole-genome sequence of a basal lepidopteran species, Plutella xylostella, is reported, which contains 18,071 protein-coding and 1,412 unique genes with an expansion of gene families associated with perception and the detoxification of plant defense compounds.
Journal ArticleDOI

An intestinal mucin is the target substrate for a baculovirus enhancin

TL;DR: These findings have shown that viruses have evolved a novel strategy to overcome intestinal mucinous barriers against microorganisms by utilizing a mucin-degrading enzyme.
Journal ArticleDOI

Parallel Evolution of Bacillus thuringiensis Toxin Resistance in Lepidoptera

TL;DR: Genetic mapping of a membrane transporter (ABCC2) to a locus controlling Bt Cry1Ac toxin resistance in two lepidopterans implies that this protein plays a critical role in Bt function.
Journal ArticleDOI

Calcofluor disrupts the midgut defense system in insects.

TL;DR: A potential novel approach to develop strategies for insect control is revealed by utilizing chitin binding molecules to specifically target PM formation in a broad range of insect pest species.
