THE CHARACTERISTICS OF CHEMOSENSORY AND OPSIN GENES IN NEWLY EMERGED AND SEXUALLY MATURE AGRILUS PLANIPENNIS, AN IMPORTANT QUARANTINE FOREST BEETLE

The Characteristics of Chemosensory and Opsin Genes in Newly Emerged and Sexually Mature Agrilus planipennis, an Important Quarantine Forest Beetle

The emerald ash borer (EAB), Agrilus planipennis, is a highly destructive quarantine pest.The olfactory and visual systems of A.planipennis play different but critical roles at newly emerged and sexually Sweets mature stages; however, the molecular basis underlying these differences remain unclear.Consequently, based on deep transcriptome sequencin

FliA-Dependent Surface Macromolecules Promote Initial Biofilm Development of Escherichia coli by Influencing the Bacterial Surface Properties

FliA is an important regulatory component for the synthesis of surface macromolecules which are involved in motility and biofilm development of Escherichia coli.In this study, the roles of FliA-dependent surface macromolecules in E.coli surface tension, surface heterogeneity and surface roughness, and initial biofilm development consisting of rever
