CRISPR/Cas9-mediated knock-out of abnormal chemosensory jump 6 (acj6) gene impacts Helicoverpa armigera antennal lobe structure
Highlights • CRISPR/Cas9-mediated knock-out of Haacj6 in Helicoverpa armigera results in a significant increase in the volume of the antennal lobe (AL), with no overt morphological alterations to the overall brain structure.• The number of AL glomeruli is elevated from 75 in wild-type to approximately 100 in Haacj6 mut...
