- 10 April 2009
BackgroundThe two closely related species of band-winged grasshoppers, Gastrimargus marmoratus and Oedaleus asiaticus, display significant differences in distribution, biological characteristics and… Expand
Characterization and comparative profiling of the small RNA transcriptomes in two phases of locust
- Y. Wei, S. Chen, Pengcheng Yang, Z. Ma, L. Kang
- Medicine, Biology
- Genome Biology
- 16 January 2009
BackgroundAll the reports on insect small RNAs come from holometabolous insects whose genome sequence data are available. Therefore, study of hemimetabolous insect small RNAs could provide more… Expand
Cloning and interspecific altered expression of heat shock protein genes in two leafminer species in response to thermal stress
Studies have demonstrated differences in temperature tolerance between two Liriomyza species, L. huidobrensis and L. sativae. To investigate whether the heat shock proteins (Hsps) in the two species… Expand
Impact of mild temperature hardening on thermotolerance, fecundity, and Hsp gene expression in Liriomyza huidobrensis.
The pea leafminer, Liriomyza huidobrensis, is one of the most important economic insect pests around the world. Its population fluctuates greatly with seasonal change in China, and temperature was… Expand
Altered Immunity in Crowded Locust Reduced Fungal (Metarhizium anisopliae) Pathogenesis
- Yundan Wang, Pengcheng Yang, F. Cui, L. Kang
- Biology, Medicine
- PLoS pathogens
- 1 January 2013
The stress of living conditions, similar to infections, alters animal immunity. High population density is empirically considered to induce prophylactic immunity to reduce the infection risk, which… Expand
Polymorphic microsatellite loci for the cotton bollworm Helicoverpa armigera (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) and some remarks on their isolation
Five polymorphic tri- and tetranucleotide microsatellite loci suitable for population genetic analysis were identified in the cotton bollworm Helicoverpa armigera from two partial phagemid genomic… Expand
Role of Tomato Lipoxygenase D in Wound-Induced Jasmonate Biosynthesis and Plant Immunity to Insect Herbivores
- L. Yan, Qingzhe Zhai, +8 authors C. Li
