Identification and characterization of CYP307A1 as a molecular target for controlling the small hive beetle, Aethina tumida
23 Aug 2022
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The molting hormone 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E) plays a key role in insect development, metamorphosis, and reproduction. Previous studies have shown that ecdysteroid metabolism is regulated by a series of CYP genes in most of the insect species. However, the roles of these CYP genes in a Coleopteran beetle, Aethina tumida (small hive beetle, SHB) have not yet been explored. RESULTS: In the current study,...
