The genome of the model beetle and pest Tribolium castaneum

TL;DR: Tribolium castaneum is a member of the most species-rich eukaryotic order, a powerful model organism for the study of generalized insect development, and an important pest of stored agricultural products as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of the first invertebrate interleukin JAK/STAT receptor, the Drosophila gene domeless

TL;DR: It is shown that domeless (dome) codes for a transmembrane protein required for all JAK/STAT functions in the Drosophila embryo, which suggests that the vertebrate families evolved from a single ancestral receptor that also gave rise to dome.
Journal ArticleDOI

The red flour beetle's large nose: An expanded odorant receptor gene family in Tribolium castaneum

TL;DR: Beetle pupae were injected with TcOr1 dsRNA; unlike sham-injected and control beetles, these knock-down beetles showed no significant response to the Tribolium aggregation pheromone, supporting the hypothesis that T cOr1 plays a similar decisive role in olfaction to DmOr83b.
Journal ArticleDOI

Characterisation of Upd2, a Drosophila JAK/STAT pathway ligand.

TL;DR: The analysis of the only invertebrate JAK/STAT pathway ligands identified to date, the Drosophila unpaired-like family is described, showing that upd2 is expressed in a pattern essentially identical to that of upd and it is demonstrated that the proteins encoded by this region activate JAK-STAT pathway signalling.
Journal ArticleDOI

The fertile field of Drosophila Jak/STAT signalling.

TL;DR: Current knowledge of the JAK/STAT pathway is described and genome data is used to discuss what elements are present in Drosophila, providing the first molecular characterisation of a stem cell niche.
