Apolipoprotein D3 is required for long‐chain cuticular hydrocarbon accumulation and water retention in Acyrthosiphon pisum

BACKGROUND: The pea aphid, Acyrthosiphon pisum, is a damaging phloem-feeding pest of legume crops, and RNA interference (RNAi)-based targeting of stress-adaptation genes offers a promising route for target-specific pest management. Apolipoprotein D (ApoD) proteins are putative li...

Transcriptomic and Metabolomic Analysis Following LmRab11A Knockdown Reveals Its Role in Metabolic Regulation and Molting in Locusta migratoria

Rab proteins are key members of the Ras superfamily that regulate vesicular trafficking in eukaryotic cells, ensuring accurate cargo transport and cellular homeostasis. To investigate the functional role of Rab proteins, RNA interference (RNAi) was employed to silence LmRab11A in...
