Identification of insecticidal double-stranded RNAs targeting the proteasome pathway in the hop flea beetle Psylliodes attenuata using dsRIP

This study identifies insecticidal dsRNAs targeting the proteasome pathway in the hop flea beetle using dsRIP and demonstrates their efficacy in bioassays.

RISC-Bound Small RNA Sequencing Provides Insights into Guide Strand Selection and siRNA Trimming and Tailing Following Insecticidal dsRNA Delivery

The paper profiles RISC-bound siRNAs from insect larvae to understand guide strand selection and siRNA modifications, identifying sequence features that influence strand bias and terminal modifications.

Proteomic changes associated with the initiation and termination of aestivation in the cabbage stem flea beetle

This study identifies proteomic changes during aestivation in cabbage stem flea beetles, finding reduced translation proteins and proteolysis-related proteins at termination, with discrepancies compared to RNA-seq results.

Reciprocal roles of two trehalose transporters in aestivating cabbage stem flea beetles (Psylliodes chrysocephala)

This study identifies the reciprocal roles of two trehalose transporters, Tret-1 and Tret-2, in regulating trehalose dynamics and metabolic stability during aestivation in cabbage stem flea beetles.

RNA degradomics and proteomics reveal the mechanism of dsProsβ1-mediated proteasome targeting in the cabbage stem flea beetle

This paper investigates dsProsβ1-mediated proteasome targeting in the cabbage stem flea beetle using RNA degradomics and proteomics to reveal molecular mechanisms of RNAi-based pest control.

The MicroRNA pathway regulates obligatory aestivation in a flea beetle

This study shows that the miRNA pathway regulates obligatory aestivation in the cabbage stem flea beetle by controlling metabolism, catabolism, and resilience to high temperatures.

Physiological and transcriptional changes associated with obligate aestivation in the cabbage stem flea beetle (Psylliodes chrysocephala)

This study investigates physiological and transcriptional changes in the cabbage stem flea beetle during aestivation, finding reduced carbohydrate reserves, increased lipid reserves, and differential expression of metabolism-related genes.

Effective target genes for RNA interference-based management of the cabbage stem flea beetle

This study identifies highly effective target genes for RNA interference-based control of the cabbage stem flea beetle, showing 100% mortality and reduced leaf damage with dsRNA.

Omics-Based Hybrid Prediction In Maize

The paper demonstrates that integrating transcriptomic data with genomic data improves prediction of hybrid maize combinations, particularly for complex traits like dry matter yield.
