Parasitoid Serpins Evolve Novel Functions to Manipulate Host Homeostasis Open
Parasitoids introduce various virulence factors when parasitism occurs, and some taxa generate teratocytes to manipulate the host immune system and metabolic homeostasis for the survival and development of their progeny. Host-parasitoid in…

Genome-wide characterization of the SHORT INTER-NODES/STYLISH and Shi-Related Sequence family in Gossypium hirsutum and functional identification of GhSRS21 under salt stress Open
Saline stress is a significant factor that caused crop growth inhibition and yield decline. SHORT INTERNODES/STYLISH (SHI/STY) and SHI-RELATED SEQUENCE (SRS) transcription factors are specific to plants and share a conserved RING-like zinc…

The complete mitochondrial genome of <i>Nasutitermes tiantongensis</i> Zhou et Xu, 1993 (Isoptera: Termitidae: Nasutitermitinae) Open
Nasutitermes tiantongensis belongs to Nasutitermitinae and its mitochondrial genome was determined in this study. It consisted of 13 PCGs, 22 tRNAs, 2 rRNAs, and an A + T-rich control region, and its length was 15824 bp. The phyloge…

A teratocyte‐specific serpin from the endoparasitoid wasp <i>Cotesia vestalis</i> inhibits the prophenoloxidase‐activating system of its host <i>Plutella xylostella</i> Open
Many endoparasitoids adopt several parasitic factors, such as venom, polydnavirus and teratocytes, to suppress the immune response of their associated hosts including melanization for successful parasitism. A teratocyte‐specific expressed …

BACKGROUND Parasitic wasps are an important group of entomophagous insects for pest control. As parasitic wasps often lay eggs on or into their associated hosts, parasitoids evolve to utilize several factors including venom, polydnavirus (…

Cotesia vestalis teratocytes express a diversity of genes and exhibit novel immune functions in parasitism Open
Some endoparasitoid wasps lay eggs that produce cells called teratocytes. In this study, we sequenced and analyzed the transcriptome of teratocytes from the solitary endoparasitoid Cotesia vestalis (Braconidae), which parasitizes larval st…
