Gene Expressions of Heat Shock Proteins in Bombyx mori Egg Parasitized by a Parasitoid Wasp, Telenomus theophilae
نویسندگان
چکیده
Parasitoid wasps inject their eggs into host along with virulent factors to manipulate hosts physiology and immune system. Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are as molecular chaperones and stress proteins induced by heat, cold, anoxia and parasitism. There was no report about the roles of HSP in insect eggs against egg parasitoids. Here, we studied the expression profiles of several HSPs in silkworm eggs after parasitization by Telenomus theophilae. The results showed that expressions of Hsp19.9, Hsp20.1, Hsp20.8 or Hsp23.7 were significant up-regulated at 24 h post-parasitization, but the expressions of Hsp20.4, Hsp21.4, Hsp70, heat shock cognate protein and Hsp90 after 24 h parasitization had no significant difference compared with the control. After 3 h post-prarsitization, the expressions of nine HSPs detected in eggs had no significant changes. Our results indicated HSPs were involved in the host-parasitoid interaction. This helps us to understand the functions of HSP in host against egg parasitoids.

A review on heat shock protein gene expressions and its association with Thermo tolerance in the silkworm of Bombyx mori (L)
Studies on thermo tolerance in silkworm genetic resources are imperative to know the degree of thermo tolerance of the silkworm breeds enabling them to cope with varied agro climatic conditions in the tropical regions of the country. The inbuilt mechanism of gene expression of heat shock proteins when the breeds are exposed to higher temperature is not understood properly in Bombyx mori (L). Pr...

This work aims to evaluate the interspecific interaction between Trichogramma pretiosum and Telenomus remus, two biological control agents of fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) eggs. Eggs of Spodoptera frugiperda previously parasitized by Telenomus remus were offered to Trichogramma pretiosum, and those parasitized by Trichogramma pretiosum were offered to Telenomus remus. The previously par...
متن کاملTranscriptional Response of Silkworm (Bombyx mori) Eggs to O2 or HCl Treatment
Diapause is a common biological phenomenon that occurs in many organisms, including fish, insects, and nematodes. In the silkworm (Bombyx mori), diapause generally occurs in the egg stage. Treatment with O₂, HCl, or other compounds can prevent egg diapause. Here, we characterized the transcriptomic responses of newly laid eggs treated with O₂ or HCl. Digital gene expression analysis showed that...

The silkworm, B. mori produces massive amount of silk proteins during the final stage of larval development. These proteins are stored in the middle silk gland and they are dischar...
متن کاملStage-dependent strategies of host invasion in the egg-larval parasitoid Chelonus inanitus.
Chelonus inanitus (Braconidae) is a solitary egg-larval parasitoid which lays its eggs into eggs of Spodoptera littoralis (Noctuidae); the parasitoid larva then develops in the haemocoel of the host larva. Host embryonic development lasts approx. 3.5 days while parasitoid embryonic development lasts approx. 16 h. All stages of host eggs can be successfully parasitized, and we show here that eit...
