Transcriptomic Immune Response of Tenebrio molitor Pupae to Parasitization by Scleroderma guani
BACKGROUND Host and parasitoid interaction is one of the most fascinating relationships of insects, which is currently receiving an increasing interest. Understanding the mechanisms evolved by the parasitoids to evade or suppress the host immune system is important for dissecting this interaction, while it was still poorly known. In order to gain insight into the immune response of Tenebrio mol...
متن کاملHost‐plant associated genetic divergence of two Diatraea spp. (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) stemborers on novel crop plants
Diatraea lineolata and Diatraea saccharalis (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) are moths with stemboring larvae that feed and develop on economically important grasses. This study investigated whether these moths have diverged from a native host plant, corn, onto introduced crop plants including sorghum, sugarcane, and rice. Diatraea larvae were collected from these four host plants throughout the year i...
متن کاملVisualization of Proprioceptors in Drosophila Larvae and Pupae
Proprioception is the ability to sense the motion, or position, of body parts by responding to stimuli arising within the body. In fruitflies and other insects proprioception is provided by specialized sensory organs termed chordotonal organs (ChOs). Like many other organs in Drosophila, ChOs develop twice during the life cycle of the fly. First, the larval ChOs develop during embryogenesis. Th...
متن کاملActivity of juvenile hormone acid in brainless, allatectomized diapausing cecropia pupae.
Pupal diapause in the cecropia silkmoth is terminated by activation of the prothoracic glands. Implantation of adult male cecropia corpora allata or injection of juvenile hormone-I (JH-I) or juvenile hormone-I acid (JH-I acid) causes initiation of development in debrained, allatectomized diapausing pupae. The subsequent development results in formation of second pupae or pupal-adult intermediat...
متن کاملIdiosyncratic development of sensory structures in brains of diapausing butterfly pupae: implications for information processing
Diapause is an important escape mechanism from seasonal stress in many insects. A certain minimum amount of time in diapause is generally needed in order for it to terminate. The mechanisms of time-keeping in diapause are poorly understood, but it can be hypothesized that a well-developed neural system is required. However, because neural tissue is metabolically costly to maintain, there might ...
