A characterization of piARNs, their biogenesis and their targets in Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae)

The paper characterizes piRNAs, their biogenesis, and their targets in Spodoptera frugiperda, revealing roles beyond transposable element silencing.

Nested PCR to optimize rpoB metabarcoding for low-concentration and host-associated bacterial DNA

This paper introduces a nested PCR approach to optimize rpoB metabarcoding for low-concentration and host-associated bacterial DNA, showing improved amplification efficiency without bias.

Parent-of-origin effect on global gene expression and host-plant adaptation in Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)

This study examines how parental inheritance affects gene expression and metabolism in Spodoptera frugiperda strains and their hybrids, revealing parent-of-origin effects on immune response and metabolic pathways.

Global FAW population genomic signature supports complex introduction events across the Old World

The paper analyzes population genomic data of the fall armyworm to show multiple introduction events and gene flow across the Old World.

H3K9me2 genome-wide distribution in the holocentric insect Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)

The paper performs ChIP-Seq to analyze H3K9me2 distribution in S. frugiperda, finding it enriched at telomeres, rDNA, and satellite DNA but not correlated with transcriptional repression.

Spodoptera frugiperda transcriptional response to infestation by Steinernema carpocapsae

The paper examines the transcriptional responses of Spodoptera frugiperda tissues to Steinernema carpocapsae infestation, identifying gene expression changes and potential immune effectors acquired via horizontal gene transfer.
