TL;DR
Findings elucidate the important function of Vgs in ovary development and provide insights into the association between insect Vg genes and the ovarian bacteria, thereby establishing a groundwork for subsequent investigations on the molecular mechanisms underlying their interaction.
This work identifies a previously uncharacterized miR-980-BdABCC1 regulatory axis that modulates avermectin tolerance and highlights post-transcriptional regulation of ABC transporters as a potential molecular target for future RNAi-based pest management strategies.

BACKGROUND
Citrus root weevil, Diaprepes abbreviatus is one of the most destructive pests of citrus, causing extensive root damage that predisposes trees to secondary infection with phytophthora and substantial yield losses. In the present study, we identified and functionally characterized the coatomer subunit beta ge...

Background: Siraitia grosvenorii (monk fruit) is a dioecious medicinal crop native to southern China, yet its terpene synthase (TPS) gene family and the molecular basis of floral sexual dimorphism remain unexplored. Methods: Genome-wide identification of the TPS gene family was performed using HMMER and BLAST-based app...

The findings show that tick vitellogenesis pathways contribute to Rb regulation during reproduction and identify the I. scapularis-Rb system as a useful model for studying host control of obligate endosymbionts.
