Characterization of Long Non-Coding RNAs in the Bollworm, Helicoverpa zea, and Their Possible Role in Cry1Ac-Resistance

INSECTS, 13(1).

By: R. Lawrie n, R. Mitchell n, J. Deguenon n, L. Ponnusamy n , D. Reisig* , A. Pozo-Valdivia, R. Kurtz*, R. Roe n

author keywords: long non-coding RNAs; Helicoverpa zea; Bt-resistance; Cry1Ac resistance; RNA-seq; lncRNA; bollworms; gene regulation
topics (OpenAlex): Insect Resistance and Genetics; Insect-Plant Interactions and Control; CRISPR and Genetic Engineering
TL;DR: Characterization of non-coding genetic mechanisms in Helicoverpa zea will improve the understanding of the genomic evolution of insect resistance, improve the identification of specific regulators of coding genes in general, and is the first step for potentially targeting these regulators for pest control and resistance management.

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF MOLECULAR SCIENCES, 23(23).

By: A. Dhammi n, J. Krestchmar n, J. Zhu n, L. Ponnusamy n , F. Gould n , D. Reisig* , R. Kurtz*, R. Roe n 

author keywords: tobacco budworm; bollworm; fall armyworm; cotton; Bacillus thuringiensis; MVPII; Cry1Ac; Cry2Ab2; behavioral resistance; increased feeding
MeSH headings : Animals; Hemolysin Proteins / genetics; Hemolysin Proteins / pharmacology; Hemolysin Proteins / metabolism; Endotoxins / genetics; Endotoxins / metabolism; Pest Control, Biological; Plants, Genetically Modified / genetics; Plants, Genetically Modified / metabolism; Bacterial Proteins / genetics; Bacterial Proteins / metabolism; Bacillus thuringiensis Toxins; Moths / genetics; Bacillus thuringiensis / genetics; Bacillus thuringiensis / metabolism; Insecticide Resistance / genetics; Gossypium / metabolism; Larva / metabolism
topics (OpenAlex): Insect Resistance and Genetics; Genetically Modified Organisms Research; Entomopathogenic Microorganisms in Pest Control
TL;DR: The hypothesis that increased feeding rate is a behavioral mechanism for reducing caterpillar susceptibility to Bt is supported and the literature reviewed support the hypothesis. (via Semantic Scholar)
