Refined CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing in pea aphids uncovers the essential roles of <i>Laccase2</i> in overwintering egg adaptation
2024-12-31
Abstract excerpt
The production of overwintering eggs is a critical adaptation for winter survival among many insects. Melanization contributes to eggshell pigmentation and hardening, consequently enhancing resistance to environmental stress. The complex life cycle of the pea aphid ( Acyrthosiphon pisum ), a model hemipteran insect with remarkable reproductive capacity, involves cyclical parthenogenesis. It enables the production...
