Stage-specific metabolic allocation: nutrient investment strategies during Lysiphlebia japonica Ashmead development by Tingting Zhou, Ningbo Huangfu, Li Wang, Junyu Luo, Jinjie Cui, Xiangzhen Zhu, Sumei Wan, Xueke Gao

“…Nutrients, particularly lipids and energy-related metabolites, play a critical role in shaping stage-specific growth and survival strategies in parasitic wasps.MethodsTo analyze the allocation patterns of metabolite resources during development of parasitoid wasps, the multi-omics analysis was employed to systematically investigate nutrient dynamics across three growth periods in Lysiphlebia japonica Ashmead, a major parasitoid of cotton aphid (Aphis gossypii Glover).ResultsHere, a total of 753 metabolites were detected by untargeted metabolomics, with numerous nutritionally critical compounds including amino acids, fatty acids and carbohydrates showed stage-specific variations. …”

The neuropeptide sulfakinin is a peripheral regulator of insect behavioral switch between mating and foraging by Hong-Fei Li, Bao Dong, Yuan-Yuan Peng, Hao-Yue Luo, Xiao-Lan Ou, Zheng-Lin Ren, Yoonseong Park, Jin-Jun Wang, Hong-Bo Jiang

“…Further analysis of the mutant flies revealed that sets of odorant receptor (OR) genes were differentially expressed. Functional characterization of the differentially expressed ORs suggested that sulfakinin directly suppresses the expression of ORs that respond to opposite-sex hormones while enhancing the expression of ORs that detect food volatiles. …”

Genomic signal selection analysis reveals genes related to the lambing trait of Hotan sheep by XinKun Wang, Wei Li, QiaoYan Huang, HuiPing Sun, LeXiao Zhu, RuoHuai Gu, Feng Xing

“…We identified 290 selected regions and 332 genes across the Hotan sheep genome by using two widely adopted selective scanning detection methods (FST statistics and Piratio). Functional annotation and enrichment analysis of these genes identified 13 genes associated with the lambing rate, which were enriched in pathways such as the transforming growth factor-β signaling pathway (BMPR2, ID2, SMAD7, THBS1, and RBX1), renal cell carcinoma (PAK1, ELOC), inositol phosphate metabolism (PLCZ), non-homologous terminal junction (RAD50), ABC transporters (ABCC4), and the NET pathway (H2B, H4, and H2A). …”
