The functional link between TCTP and Drsl1 in deltamethrin-stressed Drosophila Kc cells.

Translationally controlled tumor protein (TCTP) is a growth and development related protein found in almost all eukaryotes and can be involved in a variety of cellular life activities. Our previous studies found that TCTP is involved in the response of Drosophila Kc cells to deltamethrin (DM) stimulation, and it may be a candidate gene related to DM stress. Therefore, we would further investigate the functions of TCTP and its mechanism under DM stress.

The exact status and synonyms of three Chinese Afronurus Lestage, 1924 established by Navs in 1936 (Ephemeroptera: Heptageniidae).

Navs named more than 20 mayfly species from China but most of them are not associated with currently known specimens. In 2021, we found three common species of Chinese Afronurus Lestage, 1924 (Heptageniidae), which genitalia and color patterns match three species described and illustrated by Navs in 1936. Therefore, three new synonyms are established: Afronurus pallescens (Navs, 1936) (=Cinygmina obliquistriata You et al.

A Review of the Genus from Chinese Mainland (Ephemeroptera: Baetidae).

The widely distributed and species diverse genus Leach, 1815 has never been reviewed in China, although nine species names have been reported from this country. After checking types of two species ( and ) and newly collected materials from more than 50 sites, four species are recognized, compared, and photographed in this research. Among them, the species Kimmins, 1947 is first recorded in China, and its nymphs are described for the first time.

Mitochondrial genomes of eight Scelimeninae species (Orthoptera) and their phylogenetic implications within Tetrigoidea.

Scelimeninae is a key member of the pygmy grasshopper community, and an important ecological indicator. No mitochondrial genomes of Scelimeninae have been reported to date, and the monophyly of Scelimeninae and its phylogenetic relationship within Tetrigidae is still unclear. We sequenced and analyzed eight nearly complete mitochondrial genomes representing eight genera of Scelimeninae.

Characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome of (Orthoptera: Tetrigidae) from China and its phylogenetic analysis.

The mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of the (Orthoptera: Tetrigidae: Tetriginae) was sequenced and annotated. The assembled mitochondrial genome was 14,947 bp, containing 45.8% of A, 15.

Analysis of translation control tumor protein related to deltamethrin stress in Drosophila kc cells.

The translation control tumor protein (TCTP) is a kind of conservative, common and important molecule, several functions (such as regulating cell cycle, apoptosis and calcium binding) have been reported. However, few academic researches for role of TCTP in insecticides stress were made so far. In this research, Drosophila kc cells treated with different doses of deltamethrin at different times, indicated that the expression of TCTP reached the highest level when the cells were treated with 20 ppm of deltamethrin at 24 h.

Analysis of UB and L40, related to deltamethrin stress in the diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella (L.).

Pests have been subjected to heavy selection by insecticide pressure, producing greater and more serious resistance. It is extremely valuable to identify the resistance genes that are relevant for pest control. In our previous studies, we reported that UBL40 is the deltamethrin resistance-associated gene.

Analysis of Ran related to pesticide resistance in Drosophila Kc cells.

Pesticides have been used extensively for pest control, resulting in serious pesticide resistance. It is extremely valuable to identify the resistance genes related to pest control. In our previous studies, we reported that Ran is the deltamethrin (DM) resistance-associated gene.

Identification of proteasome subunit beta type 2 associated with deltamethrin detoxification in Drosophila Kc cells by cDNA microarray analysis and bioassay analyses.

Insecticide deltamethrin resistance has presented a difficult obstacle for pest control and the resistance development is complex and associated with many genes. To better understand the possible molecular mechanisms involved in DM stress, in this study, cDNA microarray analysis was employed. 448 differentially expressed genes with at least a 2-fold expression difference were identified in Drosophila cells after DM exposure.
