Effects of targeting eye color in Tenebrio molitor through RNA interference of tryptophan 2,3‐dioxygenase ( vermilion ): Implications for insect farming
Archives of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology, 101(1), e21546.
author keywords: agriculture; entomophagy; farming; gene expression; insect eye color; protein; RNA-Seq; Tenebrio molitor; vermilion
MeSH headings : Animal Husbandry; Animals; Eye Color / genetics; Gene Expression; Genetic Markers; Insect Proteins / genetics; Insect Proteins / metabolism; Larva / genetics; Pigmentation / genetics; Pupa / genetics; RNA Interference; Tenebrio / enzymology; Tenebrio / genetics; Tenebrio / growth & development; Tryptophan Oxygenase / genetics
TL;DR:
A dominant marker system based on eye color can be developed for the genetic manipulation of T. molitor to increase the value of mealworms as an alternative food source by decreasing negative traits,such as disease susceptibility, and increasing desired traits, such as protein content and vitamin production.

Morphometric Comparisons of Citrus Rust Mite, Phyllocoptruta oleivora (Ashmead), Populations in Texas and Kenya
SOUTHWESTERN ENTOMOLOGIST, 44(3), 607–616.
TL;DR:
The purpose of this study was to use morphological characteristics to assess populations of P. oleivora in Texas and Kenya and to identify cryptic species, which could be due to differences in geography or complete or partial genetic separation.

Genome of the small hive beetle (Aethina tumida, Coleoptera: Nitidulidae), a worldwide parasite of social bee colonies, provides insights into detoxification and herbivory
GigaScience, 7(12).
author keywords: Coleoptera; pollination; Apis mellifera; invasive pest; phytophagy; glycoside hydrolase; honey bee
MeSH headings : ATP-Binding Cassette Transporters / classification; ATP-Binding Cassette Transporters / genetics; ATP-Binding Cassette Transporters / metabolism; Acetylcholinesterase / classification; Acetylcholinesterase / genetics; Acetylcholinesterase / metabolism; Animals; Bees / parasitology; Coleoptera / classification; Coleoptera / genetics; Genetic Variation; Genome; Glycoside Hydrolases / classification; Glycoside Hydrolases / genetics; Glycoside Hydrolases / metabolism; Herbivory; Insect Proteins / classification; Insect Proteins / genetics; Insect Proteins / metabolism; Insecticides / metabolism; Phylogeny; Receptors, Cell Surface / classification; Receptors, Cell Surface / genetics; Receptors, Cell Surface / metabolism; Voltage-Gated Sodium Channels / classification; Voltage-Gated Sodium Channels / genetics
TL;DR:
The ATUMI genome is sequenced and annotated, providing the first genomic resources for this species and for the Nitidulidae, a beetle family that is closely related to the extraordinarily species-rich clade of beetles known as the Phytophaga.
