Tachykinin-related peptide signalling is important for the immune response of the mealworm beetle Tenebrio molitor L.

Natalia Konopińska, Karolina Walkowiak‐Nowicka, Grzegorz Nowicki, Maryam Keshavarz, Szymon Chowański, Jens Rolff, Arkadiusz Urbański

This study investigates the role of tachykinin-related peptide (TRP) signaling in the immune response of Tenebrio molitor, showing that TRP and TRPR genes are downregulated during immune activation and that TRPs modulate antimicrobial peptide expression and phenoloxidase activity.

Effects of tachykinin-related peptides on the reproductive system of Tenebrio molitor females: implications for insect breeding and pest control

Natalia Konopińska, Karolina Walkowiak‐Nowicka, Szymon Chowański, Grzegorz Nowicki, Arkadiusz Urbański

This study investigates the role of tachykinin-related peptides (TRPs) in female Tenebrio molitor reproduction and shows their potential as targets for insect farming and pest control.
