Sequence variants of CYP345a1 and CYP6a14 gene regions in Tribolium castaneum (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) adults treated with the novel characterızed Bolanthus turcicus (Caryophyllaceae) extract
In this study, various doses of plant extracts that obtained from Bolanthus turcicus was applied to an important storage pest Tribolium castaneum adults. Bolanthus turcicus is an endemic species and spreads on the Hasan Mountain above Karkın town (Turkey, Aksaray province). The plant species was collected from June to July with the field study to be carried out in thi...
متن کاملForward genetics in Tribolium castaneum: opening new avenues of research in arthropod biology
A recent paper in BMC Biology reports the first large-scale insertional mutagenesis screen in a non-drosophilid insect, the red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum. This screen marks the beginning of a non-biased, 'forward genetics' approach to the study of genetic mechanisms operating in Tribolium.
متن کاملLarval RNA Interference in the Red Flour Beetle, Tribolium castaneum
The red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum, offers a repertoire of experimental tools for genetic and developmental studies, including a fully annotated genome sequence, transposon-based transgenesis, and effective RNA interference (RNAi). Among these advantages, RNAi-based gene knockdown techniques are at the core of Tribolium research. T. castaneum show a robust systemic RNAi response, making ...
متن کاملBeetleBase in 2010: revisions to provide comprehensive genomic information for Tribolium castaneum
BeetleBase (http://www.beetlebase.org) has been updated to provide more comprehensive genomic information for the red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum. The database contains genomic sequence scaffolds mapped to 10 linkage groups (genome assembly release Tcas_3.0), genetic linkage maps, the official gene set, Reference Sequences from NCBI (RefSeq), predicted gene models, ESTs and whole-genome ti...
متن کاملClose linkage of eye color genes in Tribolium castaneum.
N the course of linkage studies involving several new mutations affecting eye I pigmentation in the flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum, it became apparent that while being nonallelic to each other and to previously reported eye mutants they were not randomly distributed in the genome. In fact, of the nine eye mutant loci thus far reported, six occur as colsely linked members of three gene pairs....
