Ovarian Development and Vitellogenin Gene Expression under Heat Stress in Silkworm, Bombyx mori by Satinath Paul, Bela Keshan

“…The study thus showed that a brief exposure of Bombyx larvae and pupae to a temperature of 42°C or higher, much prevalent in tropical countries like India, greatly affects the ovarian development and reproductive performance of this commercially important insect. The study further showed a developmental- and tissue-specific expression of vitellogenin mRNA in fat body and ovary upon heat shock. …”

Histopathological characterization of skin and muscle lesions induced by lionfish (Pterois volitans) venom in a murine experimental model by Cecilia Díaz, Arturo Chang-Castillo, Natalia Ortiz

“…This is the case of an abundant protein, present in venom, with homology to a Golgi-associated plant pathogenic protein 1-like (GAPR1), which belongs to the same protein superfamily as venom CRISPs and insect allergens. Conclusion: This GAPR1-like protein and the hyaluronidase are probably responsible for the hemostasis impairment and hemorrhagic lesions observed in mouse skin, whereas muscle injuries can be indirectly caused by a combination of inflammatory and hemorrhagic events. …”

Genome-wide association mapping of bruchid resistance loci in soybean. by Clever Mukuze, Ulemu M Msiska, Afang Badji, Tonny Obua, Sharon V Kweyu, Selma N Nghituwamhata, Evalyne C Rono, Mcebisi Maphosa, Faizo Kasule, Phinehas Tukamuhabwa

“…Despite its importance in present and future economies, its production is severely hampered by bruchids (Callosobruchus chinensis), a destructive storage insect pest, causing considerable yield losses. Therefore, the identification of genomic regions and candidate genes associated with bruchid resistance in soybean is crucial as it helps breeders to develop new soybean varieties with improved resistance and quality. …”

Autophagy is involved in the toxicity of the biocontrol agent GC16 against Tetranychus pueraricola (Acari: Tetranychidae) based on transcriptomic and proteomic analyses by Yanyan He, Guangzu Du, Guang Wang, Huiming Guan, Shusheng Zhu, Bin Chen, Xiahong He, Youyong Zhu

“…Immunofluorescence assay and western blot results consistently indicated that GC16 treatment significantly enhanced the relative expression of the autophagy protein LC3 in insect Sf9 cells. The intracellular calcium concentration in the GC16-treated Sf9 cells was 2.30 times higher than that in the control cells, suggesting that GC16 disrupted calcium homeostasis and potentially acted as a calcium-driven nerve agent. …”
