Germ cells are essential to sexual reproduction. Across the animal kingdom, extracellular signaling isoprenoids, such as retinoic acids (RAs) in vertebrates and juvenile hormones (JHs) invertebrates, facilitate multiple processes Here we investigated role of these potent molecules embryonic germ cell development, using JHs Drosophila melanogaster a model system. In contrast their established endocrine roles during larval adult germline found that JH acts locally development. Using an vivo biosensor, observed active first within near primordial (PGCs) they migrate developing gonad. Through vitro assays, determined both necessary sufficient for PGC migration.

Pesticide-induced resurgence, increases in pest insect populations following pesticide application, is a serious threat to the sustainable control of many highly damaging crop pests. Resurgence can result from pesticide-enhanced reproduction, however, molecular mechanisms mediating this process remain unresolved. Here we show that brown planthopper (BPH) resurgence rice crops exposure emamectin benzoate (EB) results coordinated action suite genes regulate juvenile hormone (JH) levels, resulting increased JH titer adult females and enhanced fecundity. We demonstrate EB treatment at sublethal levels profound changes female BPH fitness including egg maturation oviposition.

Collectively, these provide mechanistic insights into negative pesticide-induced responses insects reveal actors JH-signaling pathway underpin resurgence.

Microsporidia are a group of obligate intracellular parasites that infect almost all animals, causing serious human diseases and major economic losses to the farming industry. Nosema bombycis is typical microsporidium infects multiple lepidopteran insects via fecal-oral transovarial transmission (TOT); however, underlying TOT processes mechanisms remain unknown. Here, we characterized process identified key factors enabling N . invade ovariole oocyte silkworm Bombyx mori We found commenced with at early pupal stage when ovarioles penetrated ovary wall were exposed hemolymph. Subsequently, in hemolymph cells firstly infiltrated sheath, from where they invaded two routes: (I) infecting follicular cells, thereby penetrating oocytes after proliferation, (II) nurse thus entering following replication. In follicle restructured built large vacuoles deliver themselves into oocyte. whole process, coated B vitellogenin (BmVg) on their surfaces. To investigate BmVg effects TOT, suppressed its expression dramatic decrease pathogen load both eggs, suggesting plays crucial role TOT.

Pyriproxyfen, a juvenile hormone analog (JHA), is considered as reduced-risk alternative to synthetic pesticides for crop protection. It has been frequently used in agriculture and public health manage insect pests. However, recent studies have reported that pyriproxyfen may adverse physiological effects on non-target organisms. This study investigated the of sublethal doses endocrine disrupting insecticide Drosophila melanogaster Meigen (Diptera: Drosophilidae) biological model. Results showed had noticeable effect developmental stages individuals exposed generation. Pyriproxyfen treatment significantly shortens adult longevity both sexes, female male. Finally, these results suggest reproduction capacity D. impacted by reducing number progeny after parent’s generation with pyriproxyfen.

The insect gut microbiota forms a complex, multifunctional system that significantly affects phenotypic traits linked to environmental adaptation. Strong reproductive potential underpins the migratory success, population growth and destructive impact of fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith). However, precise role bacteria in S. processes, distribution transmission dynamics remains unclear. We examined major invasive agricultural pest, identifying Enterococcus, Enterobacter, Klebsiella as core microorganisms present throughout its life cycle. These microbes showed heightened activity during egg stage, early larval stages pre-oviposition period females. Using an axenic re-infection system, Enterococcus quebecensis FAW181, michiganensis FAW071 Enterobacter hormaechei FAW049 were found enhance host fecundity, increasing production by 62.73%, 59.95%, 56.71%, respectively. Metagenomic haemolymph metabolomic analyses revealed positive correlation between symbiotic hormone metabolism female frugiperda. Further analysis metabolites biosynthesis pathway, along with exogenous injection juvenile III 20-hydroxyecdysone, regulate these hormones, maintaining levels equivalent those control insects. This regulation supports improved fecundity frugiperda, aiding rapid colonization expansion. findings emphasize pivotal E.
