Chitin synthase 1 and five cuticle protein genes are involved in serosal cuticle formation during early embryogenesis to enhance eggshells in Nilaparvata lugens

Jia-Bao Lu et al.

Summary: This study investigated the formation of the serosal cuticle (SC) in the brown planthopper (BPH) Nilaparvata lugens. By using parental RNA interference (RNAi) against chitin synthase 1 (NlCHS1) and cuticle protein genes (NlugCpr1/2/3/8/90), researchers identified key genes and proteins involved in SC formation. These findings provide important insights into the process of SC formation and potential targets for pest control in BPHs during the egg stage.

A rhamnose-binding lectin from Rhodnius prolixus and the impact of its silencing on gut bacterial microbiota and Trypanosoma cruzi

C. A. C. Araujo et al.

Summary: The research describes a rhamnose-binding lectin (RBL) from Rhodnius prolixus, highlighting its potential importance in the immune response and gut microbiota homeostasis of the insect vector. Silencing of RpLec gene led to increased bacterial populations in the midgut of R. prolixus, indicating a role in regulating gut bacteria and immune defenses.

RNAi-mediated silencing of ferritin genes in the brown planthopperNilaparvata lugensaffects survival, growth and female fecundity

Yan Shen et al.

Summary: The study identified three ferritin genes in brown planthopper, NlFer1 and NlFer2 were found to be essential for the development and reproduction of the insect. The high sensitivity of the insect to depletion of these genes suggests their potential application in RNAi-based pest control.

Functions of a C-type lectin with a single carbohydrate-recognition domain in the innate immunity and movement of the red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum

J. Li et al.

Summary: C-type lectins play an important role in innate immune responses and movement regulation in Tribolium castaneum. Knockdown of Tcctl5 results in downregulation of antimicrobial peptide transcription level, increased mortality, and reduced locomotor activity among early adults.

Nader Rahimi

Summary: The interaction between the S protein of SARS-CoV-2 and CD209 family proteins plays a crucial role in the virus's transmission and infection process, potentially leading to dysregulation of the host immune response and affecting various organs, including the cardiovascular system. Understanding the mechanisms behind this interaction could provide insights for therapies and vaccine development.

Engineering pest tolerance through plant-mediated RNA interference

Seung Ho Chung et al.

Summary: Expression of insect-targeted RNAi constructs in transgenic plants shows promise for agricultural pest control, but faces challenges in commercial application due to variations in RNA degradation, uptake, processing, and transport in insects. Further research is needed to optimize gene targets for efficient RNAi in pest species and minimize off-target effects in beneficial species.
