TLDR
In this review an effort was made to summarize the up to date information on the knowledge on the action mechanism of diflubenzuron (DFB), a prototype chemical for the benzoylurea type insecticides, with respect to its molecular mechanism to inhibit insect chitin synthesis.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
The ABC gene family in arthropods: Comparative genomics and role in insecticide transport and resistance
TL;DR: A thorough phylogenetic analysis of the seven arthropod and human ABC protein subfamilies is conducted, to infer orthologous relationships that might suggest conserved function of ABC transporters in arthropods.

Population bulk segregant mapping uncovers resistance mutations and the mode of action of a chitin synthesis inhibitor in arthropods
Thomas Van Leeuwen,Peter Demaeght,Edward J. Osborne,Wannes Dermauw,Simon Gohlke,Ralf Nauen,Miodrag Grbic,Luc Tirry,Hans Merzendorfer,Richard M. Clark +9 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the acaricide etoxazole inhibits chitin biogenesis in Tetranychus urticae (the two-spotted spider mite), an economically important pest, and a genetic mapping approach based on high-throughput genome sequencing is developed, which should be powerful for high-resolution mapping of simple traits (resistance or otherwise) in arthropods.

Resistance mutation conserved between insects and mites unravels the benzoylurea insecticide mode of action on chitin biosynthesis.

TL;DR: The study elaborates on how genome editing can directly, rapidly, and convincingly elucidate the MoA of bioactive molecules, especially when target sites are complex and hard to reconstitute in vitro.

Magnetic retrieval of ionic liquids: Fast dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction for the determination of benzoylurea insecticides in environmental water samples
TL;DR: A novel, rapid ionic liquid dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction technique combined with magnetic retrieval (MR-IL-DLLME) has been developed and used to analyze five benzoylurea insecticides in environmental water samples.
Journal ArticleDOI
Combined Toxicity of Insecticides and Fungicides Applied to California Almond Orchards to Honey Bee Larvae and Adults
TL;DR: Overall, larvae receiving insecticide and insecticide-fungicide combinations were less likely to survive to adulthood when compared to the control or fungicide-only treatments, and this effect may be more damaging when insecticides are applied in combination with fungicides.

Dietary TH 6040 alters composition and enzyme activity of housefly larval cuticle
Isaac Ishaaya,John E. Casida +1 more
TL;DR: Housefly larvae of 2 days of age were allowed to grow in media containing 0, 0.4, 1.0, or 2.5 ppm TH 6040 for 3 days prior to analysis of the cuticle for structural components ( chitin and protein) or enzymes important in cuticle formation (chitinase and phenoloxidase).
Journal ArticleDOI
A transient luminal chitinous matrix is required to model epithelial tube diameter in the Drosophila trachea.
TL;DR: It is proposed that the transient luminal protein/polysaccharide matrix is sensed by the epithelial cells and coordinates cytoskeletal organization to ensure uniform lumen diameter and septate junction components may function in tubulogenesis through their role in luminal matrix assembly.

Genetic Control of Cuticle Formation During Embryonic Development of Drosophila melanogaster
TL;DR: Mutations in a set of genes required for proper deposition and/or morphogenesis of the cuticle of Drosophila melanogaster are characterized and a new mutation is described that shows the blimp phenotype but does not produce defects in the head cuticle as the other mutations do.

UDP–sugar transporter implicated in glycosylation and processing of Notch
Satoshi Goto,Misako Taniguchi,Masatoshi Muraoka,Hidenao Toyoda,Yukiko Sado,Masao Kawakita,Masao Kawakita,Shigeo Hayashi +7 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that changes in nucleotide–sugar levels can differently affect Wingless and two distinct aspects of Notch signalling.
