Abstract

Parasitoid Wasp Genomes Parasitoid wasps, which prey on and reproduce in host insect species, play important roles in plant herbivore interactions, and may provide valuable tools in the biological control of pest species. The Nasonia Genome Working Group (p. 343 ; see the news story by Pennisi ) presents the genome of three very closely related species: Nasonia vitripennis, N. giraulti , and N. longicornis . The findings document rapid evolution between a host and endosymbiont that can cause nuclear-cytoplasmic incompatibilities that may affect speciation.

Abstract

The gustatory receptor (Gr) family of insect chemoreceptors includes receptors for sugars and bitter compounds, as well as cuticular hydrocarbons and odorants such as carbon dioxide. We have annotated a total of 65 Gr genes from the silkworm Bombyx mori genome. The Gr family in the silkworm moth includes putative carbon dioxide receptors and sugar receptors, as well as duplicated orthologues of the orphan DmGr43a receptor. Most prominent in this 65-gene family, however, is a single large expansion of 55 Grs that we propose are predominantly ‘bitter’ receptors involved in perception of the large variety of secondary plant chemicals that caterpillars and moths encounter. These Grs might therefore mediate food choice and avoidance as well as oviposition site preference. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Chemosensory proteins (CSPs) are associated with insect sensory organs, including the sensillum lymph in some cases. However, they are also commonly expressed in nonsensory tissues that lack gustatory and olfactory neurones. We characterized the sex and development specific expression patterns of four CSP genes from the Eastern spruce budworm (ESB) using Northern blots.CfumAY426540.2was detected at high levels in adult moths. Conversely,CfumAY426538was expressed in all stages except adult moths, and was most abundant during late stages of the 6th instar.CfumAY701858was expressed in all stages, whileCfumAY426539was detected less frequently, at specific developmental stages such as the 5th to 6th instar moult. During a natural moult, and a premature moult induced by the ecdysteroid agonist tebufenozide,CfumAY701858andCfumAY426539were up-regulated, whileCfumAY426538appeared to be down-regulated. Our results suggest that some members of the CSP gene family from the ESB may be involved in development, including moulting. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
