A relaxin receptor gene RpGPCR41 is involved in the resistance of Rhopalosiphum padi to pyrethroids.

Rhopalosiphum padi is a global pest that poses a significant threat to wheat crops and has developed resistance to various insecticides. G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), known for their crucial role in signaling and biological processes across insect species, have recently gained attention as a potential target for insecticides. GPCR has the potential to contribute to insect resistance through the regulation of P450 gene expression.

Uridine Diphosphate-Glycosyltransferase RpUGT344D38 Contributes to λ-Cyhalothrin Resistance in .

Uridine diphosphate-glycosyltransferase (UGT) is a key phase II enzyme in the insect detoxification system. Pyrethroids are commonly used to control the destructive wheat aphid . In this study, we found a highly expressed UGT gene, 34438, in both λ-cyhalothrin (LCR)- and bifenthrin (BTR)-resistant strains of .

Voltage-gated sodium channel gene mutation and P450 gene expression are associated with the resistance of Patch (Hemiptera: Aphididae) to lambda-cyhalothrin.

Patch is one of the most economically important tree fruit pests worldwide. The pyrethroid insecticide lambda-cyhalothrin is commonly used to control . In this 2-year study, we quantified the resistance level of to lambda-cyhalothrin in different regions of the Shaanxi province, China.

UGT2B13 and UGT2C1 are involved in lambda-cyhalothrin resistance in Rhopalosiphum padi.

Uridine diphosphate-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs) are major multifunctional detoxification phase II enzymes involved in the metabolic detoxification of xenobiotics. However, their roles in insecticides resistance are still unclear. In this study, we identified two UGTs genes (UGT2B13 and UGT2C1) in Rhopalosiphum padi, a serious insect pest of wheat worldwide.

Enhancement of Cell Adhesion by Nucleolin-Interacting Protein AFAP.

, the aetiologic agent of human granulocytic anaplasmosis (HGA), is an obligate intracellular Gram-negative bacterium. During infection, enhances the adhesion of neutrophils to the infected endothelial cells. However, the bacterial factors contributing to this phenomenon remain unknown.

Octopamine receptor genes are involved in the starvation response of Rhopalosiphum padi (Hemiptera: Aphididae).

Insect octopamine (OA) receptors are G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) that play essential roles in physiological and behavioural processes. However, there is little information about the function of OA receptors in the aphids' response to stress. From the genome sequence of Rhopalosiphum padi genome sequence, a cosmopolitan cereal pest, we identified six OA receptor genes RpOAMB, RpOctR, RpOctβ1R, RpOctβ2R, RpOctβ3R, RpOctR-like with two, one, one, four, four, seven exons, respectively.

Identification and characterization of an actin filament-associated Anaplasma phagocytophilum protein.

Anaplasma phagocytophilum, the aetiologic agent of human granulocytic anaplasmosis (HGA) is an obligate intracellular Gram-negative bacterium. During intracellular replication, A. phagocytophilum interacts with many host cell components including actin cytoskeleton.
