Dietary Sodium Butyrate Supplementation Enhances Silkworm Silk Yield by Simultaneously Promoting Larval Growth and Silk Gland Development Open
Silk yield enhancement in sericulture has plateaued. Sodium butyrate (NaB) is known to improve production performance in livestock and poultry, yet its effects on silkworm silk yield remain uncharacterized. Here, we evaluated the impact of…

<i>Doublesex</i> gene in <i>Bombyx mori</i>: <span>CRISPR</span>‐mediated female‐to‐male sex reversal through exon skipping Open
BACKGROUND Sex control technology has great potential to improve the efficiency of economic insect utilization and integrated pest management by enabling targeted population suppression or elimination. The silkworm ( Bombyx mori ), a lepid…

CRISPR/Cas9‐mediated PBP1 and PBP3 mutagenesis induced significant reduction in electrophysiological response to sex pheromones in male <i>Chilo suppressalis</i> Open
Pheromone‐binding proteins (PBPs) are thought to bind and transport sex pheromones onto the olfactory receptors on the dendrite membrane of olfactory neurons, and thus play a vital role in sex pheromone perception. However, the function of…

Identification and Expression Profiles of Sex Pheromone Biosynthesis and Transport Related Genes in Spodoptera litura Open
Although the general pathway of sex pheromone synthesis in moth species has been established, the molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood. The common cutworm Spodoptera litura is an important agricultural pest worldwide and causes hu…

Identification and Characterization of Candidate Chemosensory Gene Families from <i>Spodoptera exigua</i> Developmental Transcriptomes Open
Insect chemosensory genes have been considered as potential molecular targets to develop alternative strategies for pest control. However, in Spodoptera exigua, a seriously polyphagous agricultural pest, only a small part of such genes hav…
