HSP27 multimerization mediated by phosphorylation-sensitive intermolecular interactions at the amino terminus. (1/1413)

Distinct biochemical activities have been reported for small and large molecular complexes of heat shock protein 27 (HSP27), respectively. Using glycerol gradient ultracentrifugation and chemical cross-linking, we show here that Chinese hamster HSP27 is expressed in cells as homotypic multimers ranging from dimers up to 700-kDa oligomers. Treatments with arsenite, which induces phosphorylation on Ser15 and Ser90, provoked a major change in the size distribution of the complexes that shifted from oligomers to dimers. Ser90 phosphorylation was sufficient and necessary for causing this change in structure. Dimer formation was severely inhibited by replacing Ser90 with Ala90 but not by replacing Ser15 with Ala15. Using the yeast two-hybrid system, two domains were identified that were responsible for HSP27 intermolecular interactions. One domain was insensitive to phosphorylation and corresponded to the C-terminal alpha-crystallin domain. The other domain was sensitive to serine 90 phosphorylation and was located in the N-terminal region of the protein. Fusion of this N-terminal domain to firefly luciferase conferred luciferase with the capacity to form multimers that dissociated into monomers upon phosphorylation. A deletion within this domain of residues Arg5-Tyr23, which contains a WDPF motif found in most proteins of the small heat shock protein family, yielded a protein that forms only phosphorylation-insensitive dimers. We propose that HSP27 forms stable dimers through the alpha-crystallin domain. These dimers further multimerize through intermolecular interactions mediated by the phosphorylation-sensitive N-terminal domain.  (+info)

Photorhabdus luminescens W-14 insecticidal activity consists of at least two similar but distinct proteins. Purification and characterization of toxin A and toxin B. (2/1413)

Both the bacterium Photorhabdus luminescens alone and its symbiotic Photorhabdus-nematode complex are known to be highly pathogenic to insects. The nature of the insecticidal activity of Photorhabdus bacteria was investigated for its potential application as an insect control agent. It was found that in the fermentation broth of P. luminescens strain W-14, at least two proteins, toxin A and toxin B, independently contributed to the oral insecticidal activity against Southern corn rootworm. Purified toxin A and toxin B exhibited single bands on native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and two peptides of 208 and 63 kDa on SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The native molecular weight of both the toxin A and toxin B was determined to be approximately 860 kDa, suggesting that they are tetrameric. NH2-terminal amino acid sequencing and Western analysis using monospecific antibodies to each toxin demonstrated that the two toxins were distinct but homologous. The oral potency (LD50) of toxin A and toxin B against Southern corn rootworm larvae was determined to be similar to that observed with highly potent Bt toxins against lepidopteran pests. In addition, it was found that the two peptides present in toxin B could be processed in vitro from a 281-kDa protoxin by endogenous P. luminescens proteases. Proteolytic processing was shown to enhance insecticidal activity.  (+info)

In vivo regulation of beta-MHC gene in rodent heart: role of T3 and evidence for an upstream enhancer. (3/1413)

Cardiac beta-myosin heavy chain (beta-MHC) gene expression is mainly regulated through transcriptional processes. Although these results are based primarily on in vitro cell culture models, relatively little information is available concerning the interaction of key regulatory factors thought to modulate MHC expression in the intact rodent heart. Using a direct gene transfer approach, we studied the in vivo transcriptional activity of different-length beta-MHC promoter fragments in normal control and in altered thyroid states. The test beta-MHC promoter was fused to a firefly luciferase reporter gene, whereas the control alpha-MHC promoter was fused to the Renilla luciferase reporter gene and was used to account for variations in transfection efficiency. Absolute reporter gene activities showed that beta- and alpha-MHC genes were individually and reciprocally regulated by thyroid hormone. The beta-to-alpha ratios of reporter gene expression demonstrated an almost threefold larger beta-MHC gene expression in the longest than in the shorter promoter fragments in normal control animals, implying the existence of an upstream enhancer. A mutation in the putative thyroid response element of the -408-bp beta-MHC promoter construct caused transcriptional activity to drop to null. When studied in the -3, 500-bp beta-MHC promoter, construct activity was reduced ( approximately 100-fold) while thyroid hormone responsiveness was retained. These findings suggest that, even though the bulk of the thyroid hormone responsiveness of the gene is contained within the first 215 bp of the beta-MHC promoter sequence, the exact mechanism of triiodothyronine (T3) action remains to be elucidated.  (+info)

Glucose generates sub-plasma membrane ATP microdomains in single islet beta-cells. Potential role for strategically located mitochondria. (4/1413)

Increases in the concentration of free ATP within the islet beta-cell may couple elevations in blood glucose to insulin release by closing ATP-sensitive K+ (KATP) channels and activating Ca2+ influx. Here, we use recombinant targeted luciferases and photon counting imaging to monitor changes in free [ATP] in subdomains of single living MIN6 and primary beta-cells. Resting [ATP] in the cytosol ([ATP]c), in the mitochondrial matrix ([ATP]m), and beneath the plasma membrane ([ATP]pm) were similar ( approximately 1 mM). Elevations in extracellular glucose concentration (3-30 mM) increased free [ATP] in each domain with distinct kinetics. Thus, sustained increases in [ATP]m and [ATP]pm were observed, but only a transient increase in [ATP]c. However, detectable increases in [ATP]c and [ATP]pm, but not [ATP]m, required extracellular Ca2+. Enhancement of glucose-induced Ca2+ influx with high [K+] had little effect on the apparent [ATP]c and [ATP]m increases but augmented the [ATP]pm increase. Underlying these changes, glucose increased the mitochondrial proton motive force, an effect mimicked by high [K+]. These data support a model in which glucose increases [ATP]m both through enhanced substrate supply and by progressive Ca2+-dependent activation of mitochondrial enzymes. This may then lead to a privileged elevation of [ATP]pm, which may be essential for the sustained closure of KATP channels. Luciferase imaging would appear to be a useful new tool for dynamic in vivo imaging of free ATP concentration.  (+info)

Molecular systematics of cytochrome oxidase I and 16S from Neochlamisus leaf beetles and the importance of sampling. (5/1413)

If a gene tree is to be judiciously used for inferring the histories of closely related taxa, (1) its topology must be sufficiently resolved and robust that noteworthy phylogenetic patterns can be confidently documented, and (2) sampling of species, populations, and pertinent biological variation must be sufficiently broad that otherwise misleading sources of genetic variation can be detected. These principles are illustrated by the complex gene tree of Neochlamisus leaf beetles that I reconstructed using 90,000 bp of cytochrome oxidase I (COI) and 16S mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequences from over 100 specimens. Cytochrome oxidase I haplotypes varied up to 25.1% within Neochlamisus and up to 11.1% within the gibbosus species group, while exhibiting very low A + T bias for insect mtDNA (63%), low transition saturation, and conservative patterns of amino acid variation. 16S exhibited lower sequence divergences and greater A + T bias and transition saturation than COI, and substitutions were more constrained in stems than in loops. Comparisons with an earlier study of Ophraella leaf beetles highlighted conservative and labile elements of molecular evolution across genes and taxa. Cytochrome oxidase I parsimony and neighbor-joining analyses strongly supported a robust mtDNA genealogy that revealed the monophyly of Neochlamisus and of the gibbosus species group. Phylogeographic relationships suggested that the eastern U.S. gibbosus group derives from southwestern velutinus group ancestors. Haplotypes from individual velutinus group species clustered monophyletically, as expected. However, haplotypes from each of several gibbosus group taxa were polyphyletically distributed, appearing in divergent parts of the tree. 16S provided a less-resolved gibbosus group topology that was congruent with the COI tree and corroborated patterns of mitochondrial polyphyly. By subsampling haplotypes corresponding to particular species, populations, and ecological variants of gibbosus group taxa, I demonstrate that recovered topologies and genetic distances vary egregiously according to sampling regime. This study thus documents the potentially dire consequences of inadequate sampling when inferring the evolutionary history of closely related and mitochondrially polyphyletic taxa.  (+info)

A visual evoked potential correlate of global figure-ground segmentation. (6/1413)

Human observers discriminated the global orientation of a texture-defined figure which segregated from a texture surround. Global figure discriminability was manipulated through within-figure collinearity, figure-surround interaction, and figure connectedness, while the local orientation contrast at edges between figure and surround was kept constant throughout all the experiments. Visual evoked potentials (VEPs) were recorded during onset-offset stimulation in which the figure cyclically appeared and disappeared from a uniform texture background. A difference component was obtained by subtraction of offset-from onset-VEP. Two negative peaks of the difference component are found with latencies around 140-160 and 200-260 ms, respectively. Enhanced discriminability of the global figure reduced (11-25 ms) the latency of the second peak, hence indicating that the 200-260 ms component was produced by global figure-ground segmentation.  (+info)

Seeing better at night: life style, eye design and the optimum strategy of spatial and temporal summation. (7/1413)

Animals which need to see well at night generally have eyes with wide pupils. This optical strategy to improve photon capture may be improved neurally by summing the outputs of neighbouring visual channels (spatial summation) or by increasing the length of time a sample of photons is counted by the eye (temporal summation). These summation strategies only come at the cost of spatial and temporal resolution. A simple analytical model is developed to investigate whether the improved photon catch afforded by summation really improves vision in dim light, or whether the losses in resolution actually make vision worse. The model, developed for both vertebrate camera eyes and arthropod compound eyes, calculates the finest spatial detail perceivable by a given eye design at a specified light intensity and image velocity. Visual performance is calculated for the apposition compound eye of the locust, the superposition compound eye of the dung beetle and the camera eye of the nocturnal toad. The results reveal that spatial and temporal summation is extremely beneficial to vision in dim light, especially in small eyes (e.g. compound eyes), which have a restricted ability to collect photons optically. The model predicts that using optimum spatiotemporal summation the locust can extend its vision to light intensities more than 100,000 times dimmer than if it relied on its optics alone. The relative amounts of spatial and temporal summation predicted to be optimal in dim light depend on the image velocity. Animals which are sedentary and rely on seeing small, slow images (such as the toad) are predicted to rely more on temporal summation and less on spatial summation. The opposite strategy is predicted for animals which need to see large, fast images. The predictions of the model agree very well with the known visual behaviours of nocturnal animals.  (+info)

Sequencing and characterization of the citrus weevil, Diaprepes abbreviatus, trypsin cDNA. Effect of Aedes trypsin modulating oostatic factor on trypsin biosynthesis. (8/1413)

Trypsin mRNA from the citrus weevil, Diaprepes abbreviatus, was reverse transcribed and amplified by PCR. A cDNA species of 513 bp was cloned and sequenced. The 3' and 5' ends of the gene (262 bp and 237 bp, respectively) were amplified by rapid amplification of cDNA ends, cloned and sequenced. The deduced sequence of the trypsin cDNA (860 bp) encodes for 250 amino acids including 11 amino acids of activation and signal peptides and exhibited 16.8% identity to trypsin genes of selected Lepidoptera and Diptera. A three-dimensional model of Diaprepes trypsin contained two domains of beta-barrel sheets as has been found in Drosophila and Neobellieria. The catalytic active site is composed of the canonical triad of His41, Asp92 and Ser185 and a specificity pocket occupied by Asp179 with maximal activity at pH 10.4. Southern blot analysis indicated that at least two copies of the gene are encoded by Diaprepes midgut. Northern blot analysis detected a single RNA band below 1.35 kb at different larval ages (28-100 days old). The message increased with age and was most abundant at 100 days. Trypsin activity, on the other hand, reached a peak at 50 days and fell rapidly afterwards indicating that the trypsin message is probably regulated translationally. Feeding of soybean trypsin inhibitor and Aedes aegypti trypsin modulating oostatic factor affected trypsin activity and trypsin biosynthesis, respectively. These results indicate that Diaprepes regulates trypsin biosynthesis with a trypsin modulating oostatic factor-like signal.  (+info)

The Colorado potato beetle (Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say)) is a significant pest of potato plants that has been controlled for more than two decades by neonicotinoid imidacloprid. L. decemlineata can develop resistance to this agent even though the molecular mechanisms underlying this resistance are not well characterized. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short ribonucleic acids that have been linked to response to various insecticides in several insect models. Unfortunately, the information is lacking regarding differentially expressed miRNAs following imidacloprid treatment in L. decemlineata. In this study, next-generation sequencing and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) were used to identify modulated miRNAs in imidacloprid-treated versus untreated L. decemlineata. This approach identified 33 differentially expressed miRNAs between the two experimental conditions. Of interest, miR-282 and miR-989, miRNAs previously shown to be modulated by imidacloprid in other insects, and miR-100,
The closest permanent populations of Colorado potato beetles are found in Russia, north and south of Lake Ladoga. Occasional overwintered beetles can be found in Finland, mainly in the vicinity of the eastern border. The Colorado potato beetles that burrowed into the ground as adults come out of hibernation when the temperature of the soil exceeds 15 degrees. This usually happens at the end of June and beginning of July.. It is difficult to find single beetles, but there can be findings of several dozen adult beetles in a colony that has overwintered. The adult beetles and larvae first eat holes in the potato leaves, and later they eat the leaves completely. In this case the area has to be examined carefully for findings of adult Colorado potato beetles or egg masses. The Colorado potato beetles only eat potatoes or other solanaceae. In the home garden there are many other common insects eating the leaves of plants.. An adult Colorado potato beetle is about one centimetre long. There are 10 ...

Winter mortality is a major factor regulating population size of the mountain pine beetle, Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins (Coleoptera: Curculionidae). Glycerol is the major cryoprotectant in this freeze intolerant insect. We report findings from a gene expression study on an overwintering mountain pine beetle population over the course of 35 weeks. mRNA transcript levels suggest glycerol production in the mountain pine beetle occurs through glycogenolytic, gluconeogenic and potentially glyceroneogenic pathways, but not from metabolism of lipids. A two-week lag period between fall glycogen phosphorylase transcript and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase transcript up-regulation suggests that gluconeogenesis serves as a secondary glycerol-production process, subsequent to exhaustion of the primary glycogenolytic source. These results provide a first look at the details of seasonal gene expression related to the production of glycerol in the mountain pine beetle.

Colorado potato beetle. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the larva of a Colorado potato beetle (Leptinotarsa decemlineata). This agricultural pest hatches from an egg laid on the underside of a potato leaf, and begins to feed. Once fully grown after 2-3 weeks, it burrows into the soil and transforms into a pupa which survives the winter. The adult beetle emerges in the spring to feed on newly sprouted potato plants before female beetles lay more eggs. Magnification unknown. - Stock Image Z330/0280
Their biology is not well-known, but is similar to that of some of our other large scarabs, such as ox beetles and Eastern Hercules beetles.

Bean leaf beetle injury to soybean seedlings (two plants). Where do bean leaf beetles spend the winter? Bean leaf beetle adults overwinter throughout the Midwest primarily beneath leaf litter in woodlots surrounding soybean fields. Dr. Larry Pedigo, professor of entomology, Iowa State University, reports that approximately 80% of adults spend the winter in wooded areas, 20% beneath soybean residue in fields, and fewer than 1% in protected areas of alfalfa stands, cornfields, and other grassy areas. Bean leaf beetle adults become active in April and are commonly observed in stands of alfalfa. While in alfalfa, some feeding and egg laying takes place; however, bean leaf beetles are not considered to be of any economic importance to this crop. When do bean leaf beetle adults abandon alfalfa? As the first cutting of alfalfa is taking place and the earliest-planted soybean fields begin to emerge, bean leaf beetle adults leave alfalfa and colonize soybeans. Females that fly to soybean fields have ...

This is Cicindela scutellaris (festive tiger beetle), one of the six species of tiger beetles that we found last September at Monroe Canyon in the Pine Ridge area of northwestern Nebraska. The red elytra and green head and pronotum are characteristic of nominotypical populations of this species that are found in sandy habitats throughout the Great Plains. This is your classic tiger beetle in a classic tiger beetle pose; however, photographs such as this are not so easy to come by. The biggest challenge is the beetle itself - rarely are they so accommodating to allow this nice lateral profile perspective with the head slightly cocked towards the camera while standing up on their front legs. This posture is seen only when the beetles are warm and active, and warm beetles are skittish beetles that yield lots of not-as-interesting back shots (head directed away from the camera) as they persistently run away from the photographer. Cooler temperatures make them less skittish and easier to approach ...
Wherever we find many species of tiger beetles living together, we also find many birds, butterflies, dragonflies, and other species. In this way, tiger beetles can help us understand which areas of land are most important to save or protect.. In many parts of the world the species that are there have not been studied or dont even have official names yet. For example, it takes years to know how many bird species are in an area. Tiger beetles, however, are very obvious and easy to identify wherever they are. Because of this they have been studied so much around the world that even in the middle of the Amazonian forest we can quickly count how many species of tiger beetles are there.. If we want an actual estimate of the number of species of birds, butterflies, and other animals that are in an area, tiger beetles can help us yet again. Knowing the number of tiger beetle species in an area can help us estimate species numbers for other animals. This saves us the time and money it would take to ...
Sunburst Diving Beetles are black with bright yellow spots. The spots warn predators that they can protect themselves by releasing a chemical that tastes bad. Sunburst Diving Beetles are also called Spotted Diving Beetles. They are small beetles. Adults grow to approximately 1/2 of an inch in length. They have a pair of thin antennae and three pairs of legs. Their back legs have a thick fringe of hairs to enable strong swimming. The females are slightly larger than the males. The males also have suction disks on each foreleg.. Sunburst Diving Beetles breathe oxygen but they spend much of their time underwater. Adults are able to do this by creating a bubble of air that they take underwater. While floating on the water the Sunburst Diving Beetle will tip its abdomen up in the air and gather the air under their wing covers to use them like the air tanks human scuba divers use. They can stay submerged for several minutes. Larvae have a siphon like a snorkel coming out of the end of their bodies ...
The Salt Creek tiger beetle, Cicindela nevadica lincolniana, is a critically endangered subspecies of tiger beetle endemic to the saline wetlands of northern Lancaster County, Nebraska, adjacent to and immediately to the north of the city of Lincoln. It is a predatory insect, using its mandibles to catch other insects. The beetle is one of the rarest insects in North America; surveys showed that 194 adults existed in 2009, down from 263 in 2008, and 777 in 2000. However, efforts are continuing to boost the population, which in 2013 numbered 365 beetles: one beetle for each day in a regular year. The Salt Creek tiger beetle measures about 12 mm (0.5 in.) in length. The beetle has a metallic brown to dark olive green coloration, with a dark metallic green underside. Its body form and color pattern differs from other tiger beetle subspecies. Little is known about the life cycle of the Salt Creek tiger beetle. Adults emerge around June 1 and disappear five or six weeks later; populations peak about ...

latidens, Ips pini, Pseudips mexicanus) were also detected in small numbers at several sites. Other potentially damaging bark beetles, also collected in small numbers, included Dendroctonus species such as the red turpentine beetle (D. valens), western pine beetle (D. brevicomis), and even mountain pine beetle (D. ponderosae). Although samples are still being processed, the remainder of beetles collected appear to be secondary bark beetles, which typically only infest already dead or dying trees. All bark beetles examined thus far are native to Oregon, and such a wide diversity is not unexpected. However, the historical distribution of beetles such as the pine engraver (Ips pini), as well as the western and mountain pine beetle, does not typically include the Valley. These beetles are adapted to the warmer, drier climates of eastern and southwest Oregon. The small number detected in the survey suggests that they likely originated from some type of wood product being moved to/through the Valley, ...

We are ready to research the Bornean Firefly Larva, though we cannot discount that it might be a Netwing Beetle Larvae. Eric Eaton says the way to tell the difference it to introduce a snail. If the beetle larva eats the snail, it is a Firefly Larva. If it prefers fungus, it is a Netwing Beetle Larva. We imagine that there may also be snail and fungus specificity in the preferences. Here is an example from The Flying Kiwi of a Larviform female Netwing Beetle from Viet Nam, and here is another example of a Netwing Beetle and The Flying Kiwis, AKA Richard Seamans, written account: I didnt notice that this one in Malaysia was glowing, but it turns out that both this and the Vietnamese firefly arent fireflies at all, theyre actually the larvae of net-winged beetles in the genus Duliticola, otherwise known as trilobite larvae because of their prehistoric shape; the one you see here is Duliticola hoiseni.

Insecticides- A number of insecticides are available to kill Japanese beetles. by spraying the affected plants with Japanese beetle killer withn ingredients such as carbaryl or pyrethrin). Pyrethrin-based insecticide is a safe and effective way to control these pests on vegetables, grapes, raspberries, flowers, roses, trees and shrubs. In addition to controlling Japanese beetles, it also controls cucumber beetles, flea beetles, cabbageworms, and more. As soon as you notice beetles, begin spraying. The beetles release chemicals called pheromones into the air. These pheromones attract other beetles. So if you see a few of the bugs, theyll probably attract more. Get rid of Japanese beetles early, before they can invite more of their friends to feed on your plants. ...
RESISTANCE ASSAY METHODS. In the field, insecticide resistance can be observed as little or no reduction in the density of beetle populations and their damage to potato plants following insecticide application (assuming that other possible reasons, such as poor timing or malfunctioning spray equipment, could be ruled out). In the laboratory, resistance can be measured as an increase in the dose (LD50) or concentration (LC50) of the toxin required to kill 50% of the exposed population. LD50 values are used when the exact dose received by each tested insect is known (e.g., when a droplet of the known volume of the known concentration of insecticide solution is applied topically to an insect). LC50 values are used when the exact dose is not known (e.g., when an insect feeds on the leaf treated with the known concentration of insecticide solution, but the exact amount of ingested material is not measured). Bioassays normally consist of preparing serial dilutions of tested chemicals and then applying ...
Many livestock producers are unaware that herd management practices influence the effectiveness of dung beetles. Dung beetles are important to healthy cattle pasture ecosystems as they provide for nutrient recycling, removal of waste products from the soil surface and assist in the reduction of pestiferous flies.. Numerous exotic dung beetles have been accidentally or intentionally introduced to the North American continent and several of these have become established.. In Indigenous and Exotic Dung Beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae and Geotrupidae) Collected in Florida Cattle Pastures, which will appear in the next issue of Annals of the Entomological Society of America, entomologists from the University of Florida surveyed for the presence and distribution of dung beetles on four cattle farms in north central Florida over a 3.5-yr period, and they identified 39 species from 20 genera, with a total of 62,320 beetles collected in traps.. Although most were natives, six exotic species were ...
Beetles make up the largest category of insects in the world, accounting for approximately 25% of all life forms on earth. In fact, there are more than 5 million different species of beetles.. Beetles are easily identified by their hard outer shell, which covers their wings. Their wings are exposed only during flight. A beetles body consists of three sections: a head, a thorax, and an abdomen.. Several types of beetles feed on wood. This can cause a lot of damage to wood structures primarily because while the wood is being eaten, the beetles remain unseen. This is true of Powder Post Beetles, Old House Borer Beetles, Bark Beetles, Citrus Long-Horned Beetles, Asian beetles, and other species. Powder Post Beetles, among others, grow from eggs that are laid in the wood. Another species of beetle, the Citrus Long-Horned Beetle, was introduced into the United States as recently as 1999, and is currently without any natural enemies. Although not known as yet, the damage they will create is expected ...
Typical for the ancient beetle suborder Adephaga to which they belong, they have paired pygidial glands in the lower back of the abdomen. These are well developed in ground beetles, and produce noxious or even caustic secretions used to deter would-be predators. In some, commonly known as bombardier beetles, these secretions are mixed with volatile compounds and ejected by a small combustion, producing a loud popping sound and a cloud of hot and acrid gas which can injure small mammals, such as shrews, and is liable to kill invertebrate predators outright. To humans, getting bombed by a bombardier beetle is a decidedly unpleasant experience. This ability has evolved independently twice as it seems - in the flanged bombardier beetles (Paussinae) which are among the most ancient ground beetles, and in the typical bombardier beetles (Brachininae) which are part of a more modern lineage. The Anthiini, though, can mechanically squirt their defensive secretions for considerable distances and are ...
Yoon JS, Kim K, Palli SR. 2020. Journal of Asia-Pacific Entomology. 23(4):1160-1164.. Despite extensive research during the past decade elucidating the mechanism of RNA interference (RNAi) in insects, it is not clear how ingested or injected double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) triggers RNAi response in the whole body or even its progeny, which is referred to as systemic RNAi. In the present study, we aim to understand how the dsRNA delivered into cells causes systemic RNAi using Colorado potato beetle cells (Lepd-SL1). We first tested if dsRNA treatment induces systemic RNAi in Lepd-SL1 cells. Exposure of a new batch of Lepd-SL1 cells to the conditioned medium where Lepd-SL1 cells treated with dsRNA targeting inhibitor of apoptosis were grown for 6 h induced apoptosis in these new batch of cells. We hypothesized the exosomes in the conditioned medium are responsible for RNAi-inducing effect. To test this hypothesis, we isolated exosomes from the conditioned medium from Lepd-SL1 cells that had been ...

Cigarette and drugstore beetles are often confused with one another. Adult beetles are rounded in profile, oval shaped, light-brown color, 1/16-1/8 inch-long. A hood-like shield (prothorax) encloses and conceals the head when viewed from above. The femora of each hind leg retracts into a groove in hind coxa. These beetles can be distinguished by the grooving on the wing covers and by their antennal shape. The drugstore beetles wing covers possess distinct striae, or grooves, and its antennae are clubbed with three elongated and broadened segments at the tips. The wing covers of cigarette beetles are very smooth, without distinct grooves; and the antennal segments are sawlike, or serrate. Drugstore beetles are 1/16 to 1/8 inch long. they are brown, and their elytra have distinct rows of pits. Their antennae end with a loose, three-segmented club. Compared to the cigarette beetle the body is thinner and pronotum is more pronounced. Cigarette beetles are 1/16 to 1/8 inch long and brown, the elytra
Asian Longhorned Beetles currently affect New York, Brooklyn, Long Island and Chicago. Many of the species of trees in the northeastern United States are susceptible to attack by these beetles. Scientists and entomologists have developed different avenues to dissuade further attacks and infestation of the Asian Longhorned Beetle.. One complication in treating these infestations is due to the beetles dormant periods. For a pesticide to work, it will need to be sprayed repeatedly over an infested area in order to be effective across the beetles different life stages. One such pesticide allegedly killed bees in portions of Europe and is no longer used. Natural methods, such as the introduction of a species of beetle that preys on the Asian Longhorned Beetle, are currently under research and development. Another avenue under research is identification of chemical pheromones that attract male Asian longhorned beetles to females in order to develop traps.. ...

Adults spend the winter buried 8 to 10 inches deep in the soil, emerging in time to feed on the first foliage of early potatoes. They are wide, convex beetles, 1/2″ long, with alternating black and yellow stripes. Females lay up to 20 batches each of orange-yellow eggs in groups on the underside of the leaves, over 4 to 5 weeks. The eggs hatch into humpbacked, purplish-red larvae, with 2 rows of black dots along each side. These larvae eat voraciously, often entirely consuming the leaves. When full-grown they descend into a spherical cell in the ground, transform to a yellowish pupa, and in 5 to 10 days new adults emerge to feed and lay eggs for the second generation..

Agriculture scientist Dr Matthew Cock, chief scientist for Cabi, a UK-based agri-environment research organisation, lists some of the biggest biological threats to global food security. Pests like desert locust, western corn root worm (Diabrotica virgifera virgifera), the Khapra beetle (Trogoderma granarium), mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae) and colorado potato beetle (Leptinotarsa decemlineata) are suggested together with plant diseases, causing famine in the past: potato blight (Phytophthora infestans), or big economic losses in agricultural production: wheat stem rust strain Ug99 (Puccinia graminis tritici), South American rubber blight (Microcyclus ulei) and cofee wilt disease (Fusarium xylarioides).The original article (BBC News) was cited also by IPM in the South (18 Jan 2012).

In hairy wet attachment systems, the role of the secretion still remains unclear. It has already been shown that the presence of the fluid is required for generating adhesion in insect adhesive pads. For example, as shown in 1970, attachment was impaired when hairy pads of the bug Rhodnius prolixus were treated with organic solvents (Edwards & Tarkanian 1970). In 1980, experiments with beetles on various substrates also strongly suggested that cohesive forces, surface tension and molecular adhesion, mediated by pad secretion, may be involved in the mechanism of attachment (Stork 1980). It was inferred from experiments (Wallentin et al. 1999; Gorb 2001) that the secretion induces a viscous resistance to detachment of the pad from the substrate and a capillary attraction that applies both before and during detachment (static and dynamic processes). Later, on the scale of individual seta terminal plates, experiments conducted on the fly Calliphora vicina using multiple local force-volume atomic ...
Relatively little is known about the genomic basis and evolution of wood-feeding in beetles. We undertook genome sequencing and annotation, gene expression assays, studies of plant cell wall degrading enzymes, and other functional and comparative studies of the Asian longhorned beetle, Anoplophora glabripennis, a globally significant invasive species capable of inflicting severe feeding damage on many important tree species. Complementary studies of genes encoding enzymes involved in digestion of woody plant tissues or detoxification of plant allelochemicals were undertaken with the genomes of 14 additional insects, including the newly sequenced emerald ash borer and bull-headed dung beetle. The Asian longhorned beetle genome encodes a uniquely diverse arsenal of enzymes that can degrade the main polysaccharide networks in plant cell walls, detoxify plant allelochemicals, and otherwise facilitate feeding on woody plants. It has the metabolic plasticity needed to feed on diverse plant species,
