Journal ArticleDOI
Functional characterization of three trehalase genes regulating the chitin metabolism pathway in rice brown planthopper using RNA interference.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that TRE silencing could affect the regulation of chitin biosynthesis and degradation, causing moulting deformities, and expression inhibitors of TREs might be effective tools for the control of planthoppers in rice.
Journal ArticleDOI
Knockdown of two trehalose-6-phosphate synthases severely affects chitin metabolism gene expression in the brown planthopper Nilaparvata lugens
TL;DR: These results demonstrate that silencing of TPS genes can lead to increased moulting deformities and mortality rates owing to the misregulation of genes involved in chitin metabolism, and T PS genes are potential pest control targets in the future.
Journal ArticleDOI
Suppressing the activity of trehalase with validamycin disrupts the trehalose and chitin biosynthesis pathways in the rice brown planthopper, Nilaparvata lugens.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that by inhibiting the activities of two TREs, validamycin alters N. lugens chit in synthesis and degradation and affects trehalose and chitin metabolism-related gene expression.
Journal ArticleDOI
Knockdown of five trehalase genes using RNA interference regulates the gene expression of the chitin biosynthesis pathway in Tribolium castaneum
TL;DR: These results demonstrate that silencing of any individual trehalase gene, especially Tre1-4 and Tre2 gene can lead to moulting deformities and a high mortality rate through the regulation of gene expression in the chitin biosynthesis pathway and may be a potential approach for pest control in the future.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular Cloning and Induced Expression of Six Small Heat Shock Proteins Mediating Cold-Hardiness in Harmonia axyridis (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae)
Hui-Juan Wang,Zuo-Kun Shi,Qida Shen,Cai-Di Xu,Bing Wang,Zhao-Jun Meng,Shigui Wang,Bin Tang,Su Wang +8 more
TL;DR: Differences in sHSPs gene expression were correlated with the H. axyridis forms, suggesting that the mechanism of cold resistance might differ among them.
