View Article and Find Full Text PDFLepidopteran insects are a major threat to global agriculture, causing significant crop losses and economic damage. Traditional pest control methods are becoming less effective due to the rapid evolution of insecticide resistance. This study explores the current status and genomic characteristics of 1315 Lepidopteran records, alongside an overview of relevant research, utilizing advanced functional genomics techniques, including RNA-seq and CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing technologies to uncover the molecular mechanisms underlying insecticide resistance.

Using Boolean operators, we retrieved 1093 articles from the Web of Science and Scopus databases, selecting 406 for detailed analysis, with approximately 50% focusing on herbivore-induced plant volatiles (HIPVs). This review examines the roles of VOCs in direct and indirect plant defense mechanisms and their influence on complex communication networks within ecosystems.

Therefore, comprehending the relationship between environmental factors and grasshopper occurrence is of paramount importance. This study integrated machine learning models (Maxent) using the kuenm package to screen MaxEnt models for grasshopper species selection, while simultaneously fitting remote sensing data of major grasshopper breeding areas in Inner Mongolia, China.

View Article and Find Full Text PDFLepidopteran insects mainly rely on sex pheromones to complete sexual communications. Pheromone receptors (PRs) are expressed on the olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) of the sensilla trichodea and play an essential role in sexual communication. Despite extensive investigations into the mechanisms of peripheral recognition of sex pheromones in Lepidoptera, knowledge about these mechanisms in remains limited.
