Catalase (CAT), a key antioxidant enzyme, plays a crucial role in alleviating oxidative stress by directly interacting with toxins. In this study, we identified three CAT isoforms in Tenebrio molitor (TmCAT-iso1, TmCAT-iso2 and TmCAT-iso3). These CATs possess a CAT domain, tetramer interface sites and a heme-binding pocket. We examined the expression of Tm catalases across all developmental stages and in specific tissues using quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) experiments. Our findings demonstrate that TmCAT-iso1 and TmCAT-iso3 exhibit peak expression in young and late larval stages, respectively, whereas TmCAT-iso2 shows peak expression during the egg and pre-pupal stages. Tissue distribution analysis revealed the high expression of TmCAT-iso1 and TmCAT-iso2 in larval hemocytes, whereas TmCAT-iso3 is predominantly expressed in larval Malpighian tubules. Furthermore, injection with chlorantraniliprole significantly elevated mRNA expression levels of TmCAT-iso1, TmCAT-iso2, and TmCAT-iso3 in larval groups, compared with control groups. Our study highlights the distinct developmental stages and tissues where TmCATs are expressed. We also elucidated the effects of pesticide application on the expression of each TmCAT, revealing the physiological characteristics of CATs in response to these pesticides, which are dose- and time-dependent in T. molitor.","PeriodicalId":11776,"journal":{"name":"Entomological Research","volume":"54 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-02-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139739230","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Toll and immune deficiency pathways are two major signaling pathways that lead to the production of antimicrobial peptides as final effectors. The dynamic functions of Toll/Toll-like receptors have been thoroughly reviewed in mammals and Drosophila. During the last decade, we have attempted to clarify the immunological roles of different Toll receptor variants and their ligands in Tenebrio molitor. Accordingly, we showed that TmToll-8, −9, and −10 mRNA transcripts are induced following systemic injections of Gram-negative, Gram-positive, and fungal infections. Our data revealed harmonic expression patterns of TmToll-8, −9, and −10 throughout the developmental stages of healthy individuals and in response to infections in the examined tissues (Malpighian tubules, gut, fat bodies, and hemolymph), illustrating similar evolutionary conversions of different Toll receptor variants in T. molitor.

Ixodid ticks from small mammals of three species, Apodemus agrarius, Crocidura lasiura, and Tscherskia triton, were used for the molecular detection of B. microti. PCR analyses amplifying 18S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) of the genus Babesia showed 8.4% of the ticks to be positive. Nucleotide sequencing of the PCR products revealed two different genotypes of B. microti, the US and Kobe-type. The US-types of B. microti were detected in ticks from small mammals of almost all study sites, whereas detections of Kobe-types were restricted to ticks from southern part of ROK. Phylogenetic analysis also indicated that each of the two types of B. microti clustered into two distinct clades.

A similarity analysis was performed to compare all National parks, and cladograms were constructed. In the case of higher plants, those inhabiting the Hallasan region were categorized as a separate group, while the plants living in National parks located near the southern and western coasts formed one group, and other terrestrial National parks were divided into two groups as follows: the Taebaek Mountain range/adjacent mountain group and the others group. Species of Lepidoptera, which appear to be related to plants, in the Hallasan, Taebaeksan, Taeanhaean, and Bukhansan mountains were each classified independently, and those in the Hallyeohaesang, Dadohaehaesang, Naejangsan, and Byeonsanbando in the southern and western parts of Korea were classified as a single group. In case of aquatic insects, those in the Hallasan, Taeanhaean, and Bukhansan region were categorized in independent groups, and other terrestrial National parks were placed in one group with high similarity. A similarity analysis was performed through a detailed classification of the habitats in National parks revealed that marine-coastal National parks particularly showed low similarity with other mountainous National parks. In addition, other terrestrial National parks were further grouped into large and small National parks. Comparing the subject map that divided Korea into climate, vegetation, and topography, some marine-coastal National park areas were confirmed to be distinguished from other areas. Furthermore, similarity analysis revealed that Gangwon-do and Baekdu-Daegan regions in Gyeongsangbuk-do were categorized into one group with high similarity.","PeriodicalId":11776,"journal":{"name":"Entomological Research","volume":"54 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139683016","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The first step in the design of control methods is accurate species identification. However, the morphological identification of thrips can be complex, especially as there is morphological variation amongst individuals of the same species. Analyzing a fragment of cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) has been used successfully in the identification of insects and other arthropods. Citrus is among the most important crops in the world, and Mexico is one of the largest producers. Despite this, formal reports on the species diversity of thrips found in Mexican citrus orchards are scarce. We explored the species diversity of thrips in selected citrus orchards (of Mexican orange, Key lime and Persian lime), based on morphological taxonomy and on partial sequences of COI. We analyzed 111 thrips specimens, distributed in two genera: Frankliniella, including Frankliniella insularis, Frankliniella invasor and Frankliniella occidentalis; and Scirtothrips, including Scirtothrips citri and Scirtothrips dorsalis. Frankliniella insularis and F. invasor were the most abundant species in Mexican orange (Citrus × sinensis) and Persian lime (Citrus × latofolia) orchards. Scirtothrips dorsalis was the most abundant species in Key lime orchards (Citrus × aurantiifolia). Analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) and haplotype analyses performed on F. insularis sequences (the most abundant species) showed no significant effect of geographical origin or plant host on its genetic population structure. DNA barcoding is a valuable method to complement the morphological identification of thrips in citrus orchards, allowing more accurate identification to species level.","PeriodicalId":11776,"journal":{"name":"Entomological Research","volume":"54 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139683017","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the specific impact of carcass mass on the decomposition rate remains unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to compare the effects of carcass mass on decomposition rate with controlled domestic environmental conditions. Carcasses were categorized as small and large. Decomposition patterns were evaluated using a visual scatterplot to illustrate the relationship between total body scores and log accumulated degree days (ADD). To quantitatively compare decomposition rates, a linear regression model was employed to analyze differences between the two carcass groups. Regardless of carcass mass, a similar oviposition period for flies (Diptera) was observed, and the external appearance of the carcass remained relatively stable until 1.8 logADD, marking the emergence of maggots. However, decomposition dramatically accelerated after reaching 1.8 logADD, coinciding with maggots hatching from eggs and their commencement of scavenging. In contrast to larger ones, the hastened decomposition of small carcasses can be attributed to the relatively substantial volume of Diptera larvae within the small carcasses, expediting colonization and utilization. Therefore, carcass mass should factor into postmortem interval estimation based on the degree of body decomposition.","PeriodicalId":11776,"journal":{"name":"Entomological Research","volume":"54 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139683022","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It has been assessed as affecting 9% of goods in developed countries and more than 20% of goods in developing countries. The chemical insecticides used for storing products protect against insect pests, but introduce hazards associated with handling insecticides and the residues on food, which threaten nontarget organisms, and so represent a serious problem to the environment. Biorational methods are low risk, are obtained from animals, plants, bacteria and some minerals, and are segregated into microbial, plant-associated protectant and biochemical substances. This method encompasses temperature management, modified atmospheric storage, ionizing irradiation, the mixing of inert materials, pheromone traps, botanicals, insect growth regulators, entomopathogens and host plant resistance. Biorational methods have emerged as alternative or supplemental pest control methods.
