Transcriptomic analysis of neuropeptides and peptide hormones in the barnacle Balanus amphitrite: evidence of roles in larval settlement.

The barnacle Balanus amphitrite is a globally distributed marine crustacean and has been used as a model species for intertidal ecology and biofouling studies. Its life cycle consists of seven planktonic larval stages followed by a sessile juvenile/adult stage. The transitional processes between larval stages and juveniles are crucial for barnacle development and recruitment.

Bacterial expression and cellular localization of Helicoverpa armigera nucleopolyhedrovirus Orf33 in infected host cells.

Helicoverpa armigera single nucleocapsid nucleopolyhedrovirus (HearSNPV) is a selective, highly infectious pathogen to H. armigera and has been extensively used for the control of this pest. This study presents the bacterial expression and localization of ha33 in infected host cells.
