How Climate Warming Influences the Phenology of (Busck, 1916) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) in China: Insight from Long-Term Historical Data.

(Busck, 1916), a significant pest affecting various fruits such as pears, apples, peaches, etc., is highly adaptable to changing temperatures. However, the phenological response mechanism of this pest to climate warming remains unclear.

Forecasting the Expansion of (Miyake) (Diptera: Tephritidae) in China Using the MaxEnt Model.

The invasive pest, (Miyake), has become a significant threat to China's citrus industry. Predicting the area of potentially suitable habitats for is essential for optimizing pest control strategies that mitigate its impact on the citrus industry. Here, existing distribution data for , as well as current climate data and projections for four future periods (2021-2040, 2041-2060, 2061-2080, and 2081-2100) from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) were obtained.

Antennal transcriptome analysis of Psyttalia incisi (silvestri) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae): identification and tissue expression profiling of candidate odorant-binding protein genes.

Background: Olfaction plays an important role in host-seeking by parasitoids, as they can sense chemical signals using sensitive chemosensory systems. Psyttalia incisi (Silvestri) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) is the dominant parasitoid of Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) in fruit-producing regions of southern China. The olfactory behavior of P.

Complete chloroplast genomes of five classical Wuyi tea varieties (, Synonym: L.), the most famous Oolong tea in China.

Wuyi tea (, Synonym: L.) is recognized as the most prestigious oolong tea in China. For germplasm identification and protection, the complete chloroplast genomes of five classical Wuyi tea varieties were determined by next-generation sequencing.

Comparative chloroplast genomes: insights into the evolution of the chloroplast genome of Camellia sinensis and the phylogeny of Camellia.

Background: Chloroplast genome resources can provide useful information for the evolution of plant species. Tea plant (Camellia sinensis) is among the most economically valuable member of Camellia. Here, we determined the chloroplast genome of the first natural triploid Chinary type tea ('Wuyi narcissus' cultivar of Camellia sinensis var.

Ultrastructure analysis of white spot syndrome virus (WSSV).

In this study, two aspects of the ultrastructure of white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) were identified: (i) The virus nucleocapsids were disassembled, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) image analysis confirmed that the nucleocapsids were composed of stacked ring segments rather than the usual helix system, with each ring segment consisting of three rows of subunits linked by filaments. (ii) In addition, the morphological characteristics of virus self-assembly at different stages were observed, and two different enveloping morphologies were found, implying that the virion matures through two distinct envelopments. Thus, we propose a viral membrane assembly process for WSSV virion.

VP19 is important for the envelope coating of white spot syndrome virus.

VP19 is a major envelope protein of white spot syndrome virus (WSSV), an important pathogen of farmed shrimp. However, the exact function of VP19 in WSSV assembly and infection is unknown. To understand the function of VP19, the gene was knocked down by RNA interference.
