This study examines the expression and functional roles of Vasa, Piwi, and Dnmt1 in gametogenesis of Oncopeltus fasciatus, revealing differences in their expression patterns and functional requirements compared to other organisms.

This study investigates the role of DNMT1 in genome regulation during haploid and diploid embryogenesis of Bemisia tabaci, finding that DNMT1 is essential for blastoderm development and that ploidy does not affect developmental timing.

This study investigates the role of Dnmt1 in oocyte production in Bemisia tabaci by knocking it down and analyzing gene expression and methylation patterns, finding specific effects on the Wnt pathway.

The study shows Dnmt1 knockdown in Oncopeltus fasciatus testes reduces spermatocysts and causes differential transcription, but not clear meiotic pathway disruption.
