Abstract BACKGROUND The insect cuticle consists of chitin fibers and a protein matrix, which plays an important role in protecting the body from invasion various pathogens prevents water loss. Periodic synthesis degradation is required for growth development insects. Key genes involved formation have long been considered potential target pest control. RESULTS In this study, member RR‐2 subfamily cuticular 8 (DcCP8) was identified Diaphorina citri genome database. Immunofluorescence analysis suggested that DcCP8 mainly located exocuticle can be induced to up‐regulate 12 h following 20‐hydroxyecdysone (20E) treatment. Silencing by RNA interference (RNAi) significantly disrupted metamorphosis adult stage, improved permeability cuticle. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) revealed impressed after silencing . Furthermore, recombinant exhibited chitin‐binding properties vitro , down‐regulation inhibited expression levels metabolism‐related genes. Additionally, sprayable RNAi method targeting based on star polycation (SPc) nanoparticles‐wrapped double‐stranded (dsRNA) increased mortality. Transcriptome sequencing further confirmed associated with endocytic pathway immune response were up‐regulated SPc CONCLUSIONS current study indicated critical exocuticles, lays foundation control large‐scale dsRNA nanoparticles. © 2024 Society Chemical Industry.

The cuticle of insects serves as a crucial organ for preserving body composition, protecting against pathogen invasion, and retaining moisture in their bodies. Cuticular proteins (CPs) are the main constituents insect cuticles interact with chitin to form cuticle's structural framework mechanical properties. In this study, we investigated role cuticular protein R&R consensus (CPR), BmorCPR67, member RR-2 subfamily, during prepupal-to-pupal transition Bombyx mori. BmorCPR67 gene exhibited high expression levels prepupal stage, highest detected epidermis day-1 pupa B. was induced by 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E). Chitin-binding assays indicated that selectively binds crystalline chitosan but not amorphous chitin. Silencing disrupted moulting process from prepupa pupa, resulting silkworm mortality. Furthermore, knockdown altered profiles key genes involved metabolism. Notably, significant thinning endocuticle observed 48-96 h after siRNA injection BmorCPR67-silenced silkworms. These findings highlight critical development mori, contributing our understanding functions CPs metamorphosis.

Salt stress is an important environmental factor affecting crop growth and development. One of the ways to improve salt tolerance rice identify new salt-tolerance genes, reveal possible mechanisms, apply them creation germplasm breeding varieties. In this study, salt-sensitive japonica variety Tong 35 (T35) salt-tolerant Ji Nongda 709 (JND709) were used. treatment with a 150 mmol/L NaCl solution (the control group was tested without simultaneously) continued until test material collected after germination period. Twelve cDNA libraries constructed, 5 comparator groups established for transcriptome sequencing. On average, 9.57G raw sequencing data generated per sample, alignment reference genome above 96.88% guanine-cytosine (GC) content 53.86%. A total 16,829 differentially expressed genes present in five comparison groups, which 2390 specifically T35 (category 1), 3306 JND709 2), 1708 both breeds 3). Differentially subjected gene ontology (GO), functional enrichment analysis, Kyoto Encyclopedia Genes Genomes (KEGG) pathway revealed that these belonged three main classes: molecular function, cellular components, biological processes.

Abstract The structural cuticle proteins (CPs) play important roles in the development and fitness of insects. However, knowledge about CP gene superfamily is limited virus‐transmitting insect vectors, although its importance on transmission plant virus has been gradually emphasized. In this study, genome‐wide identification was conducted western flower thrips Frankliniella occidentalis that globally invasive pest vector pest. transmits notorious tomato spotted wilt (TSWV) around world, causing large damage to a wide array plants. One hundred twenty‐eight F. genes ( FoCP s) were annotated study they classified into 10 distinct families, including 68 CPR s, 16 CPAP1 6 CPAP3 2 CPCFC Tweedle 4 CPF CPLCP CPG s. comprehensive analysis performed phylogenetic relationship, location expression profiles during different stages . Transcriptome revealed more than 30% s upregulated at least 1.5‐fold when infected by TSWV, indicating their potential involvement TSWV interactions. Our provided an overview superfamily. gave better understand CP's role transmission, which clues for reducing viral damages through silencing vectors.
