An ovary-enriched lipase gene, LOC118266188, is required for embryonic development and female fertility in Spodoptera frugiperda.
BACKGROUND The regulatory functions of ovary-enriched genes in female reproduction are well characterized in model insects, but remain largely unexplored in agricultural pests such as the fall armyworm (FAW), Spodoptera frugiperda. This study aimed to identify ovary-enriched genes in FAW and characterize their roles in...
