The lepidopteran insect undergoes major modifications in the central nervous system (CNS) so as to adapt to the lifestyle of these distinct stages with specific habitats and functions from voraciously feeding larval stages to flying reproductive adults via dormant pupal stages. Such transitions are linked to transcriptional, epigenetic, and translational complexities. Therefore, studying rhythmic gene expression in CNS of various developmental stages and the effects of antagonists on developmental hormones requires a very stable reference gene (RG). To facilitate rhythmic gene expression studies using reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) in <i>B. mori</i> and the effect of developmental hormone juvenile hormone (JH) and 20-hydroxy ecdysone hormone (20 HE), antagonists Precocene 1 and testosterone, respectively, were used.

Eighteen lablab genotypes were planted in the presence or absence of FMV in a randomized complete block design experiment replicated four times. Data on aphid abundance, incidence, and severity of damage were collected at four growth stages of the crop. Lablab genotypes significantly influenced aphid incidence, suggesting some level of tolerance to aphid colonization. Findings showed that lablab genotypes were a significant influence on natural enemy species richness with no statistical difference for abundance and natural enemy species diversity. However, the genotypes did not vary significantly in their influence on the number of aphid natural enemies. FMV was associated with low bean aphid damage. Overall, the presence or absence of FMV did not influence the number of natural enemies caught on the crop. This concurs with recent work that shows a similar number of natural enemies with field margin plants but may reflect the reduced number of pest insects. Cropping seasons influenced aphid abundance and damage severity, with the populations developing at the early stages of lablab development and decreasing as the crop advanced.

Here, we tested the effects of turmeric and its interactions with diets differing in protein source in the common housefly, <i>Musca domestica</i>.

Females in turmeric diets were heavier at death, which was likely driven by a combination of relatively lower rates of body mass loss during their lifetime and a higher percentage of water content at death. Each sex responded differently to the protein source in the diet, and the magnitude of the difference in lifespan between sexes were greatest in diets in which protein source was hydrolysed yeast; individuals from both sexes lived longest in sucrose-milk diets and shortest in diets with hydrolysed yeast. There was no evidence of an interaction between turmeric and diet, suggesting that the toxicity effects are independent of protein source in the diet.

In Brazil, invasive <i>H. armigera</i> has been reported to hybridize with local populations of <i>Helicoverpa zea</i>. The correct identification of <i>H. armigera-H. zea</i> hybrids is important in understanding the origin, spread and future outlook for New World regions that are affected by outbreaks, given that hybridization can potentially facilitate <i>H. zea</i> pesticide resistance and host plant range via introgression of <i>H. armigera</i> genes. Here, we present a genome admixture analysis of high quality genome sequences generated from two <i>H. armigera-H. zea</i> F1 hybrids generated in two different labs. Our admixture pipeline predicts 48.8% and 48.9% <i>H. armigera</i> for the two F1 hybrids, confirming its accuracy. Genome sequences from five <i>H. zea</i> and one <i>H. armigera</i> that were generated as part of the study show no evidence of hybridization. Interestingly, we show that four <i>H. zea</i> genomes generated from a previous study are predicted to possess a proportion of <i>H. armigera</i> genetic material. Using unsupervised clustering to identify non-hybridized <i>H. armigera</i> and <i>H. zea</i> genomes, 8511 ancestry informative markers (AIMs) were identified. Their relative frequencies are consistent with a minor <i>H. armigera</i> component in the four genomes, however its origin remains to be established. We show that the size and quality of genomic reference datasets are critical for accurate hybridization prediction. Consequently, we discuss potential pitfalls in genome admixture analysis of <i>H. armigera-H. zea</i> hybrids, and suggest measures that will improve such analyses.</p>","PeriodicalId":517424,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in insect science","volume":"4 ","pages":"1339143"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-02-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10926370/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140103153","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
