Abstract:
... Neurogenesis is divided into two main stages: proliferation and differentiation. Neural stem cells were discovered in insects almost a century and a half ago, in 1885, by A.A. Korotneff who called them ganglion cells, while the term neuroblast was introduced by W.M. Wheeler in 1891. Neurogenesis was initially considered a singlestage process, and the smaller daughter cells of the neuroblast were b ...

Abstract:
... Insect development is affected by temperature which in turn influences population growth. The thermal limits tolerated by insects vary depending on the species which can have important consequences for their voltinism in a climate‐changing world. This study used a multicriteria approach to select the best among six nonlinear models to describe the temperature‐dependent development rate of Anticars ...

Abstract:
... The larvae of insect herbivores feed on plants that may vary nutritionally (qualitatively and/or quantitatively) over the course of insect development. Plant quality may change in response to interactions with the biotic environment that in turn may affect development and biomass of the insects feeding on these plants. However, the larvae of many gregariously feeding herbivores feed on comparative ...

Abstract:
... Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) are important enzymes that boost the hydrolysis of recalcitrant polysaccharides, such as chitin. They are found extensively in different insect species and are classified as auxiliary activities family 15 (AA15) LPMOs (LPMO15). Some of them were identified from the insect midgut and proven to act on chitin. However, knowledge about their physiological ro ...

Abstract:
... Periodic post‐embryonic changes in insects, including growth, development and metamorphosis, are strictly controlled by many compounds, including steroid hormones. The biosynthesis and clearance of 20‐hydroxyecdysone (20E), the major active form of the insect steroid hormone ecdysone, result in titer fluctuations that help control insect development. The inactivation of 20E in the silkworm Bombyx ...

On the other hand, little is known about PPOs involvement in other essentia ...

Abstract:
... Insect development is regulated by a combination of juvenile hormone (JH) and 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E). Production of both JH and 20E is regulated by transforming growth factor-β (TGFβ) signaling. TGFβ can be classified into two branches, the Activin and Bone Morphogenetic Protein (BMP) pathways. In Drosophila melanogaster, BMP signaling is critical for JH synthesis, whereas Activin signal is requ ...

Abstract:
... BACKGROUND: Silencing specific genes in pests using RNA interference (RNAi) technology is a promising new pest‐control strategy. The Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri Kuwayama, is the most important citrus pest because it transmits Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus, which causes huanglongbing. Chitin is essential for insect development, and enzymes in this pathway are attractive targets for p ...
