HIGHLIGHTS

  • who: Yinqiao Zhang and collaborators from the Department of Entomology and MOA Key Lab of Pest Monitoring and Green Management, College of Plant have published the research work: Three Melanin Pathway Genes, TH, yellow, and aaNAT, Regulate Pigmentation in the Twin-Spotted Assassin Bug, Platymeris biguttatus (Linnaeus), in the Journal: (JOURNAL)
  • what: The authors report the first application of RNAi in this assassin bug. This model proposes that in the fully black background, aaNAT is used for generating the colorless patches by "erasing" the preliminary melanin. The authors provide evidence of a modified melanin pathway . . .
