An invasive pest that chows down on boxwood plants is expanding its range. The quarantine area is being extended to include ...

The linker histone H1 binds to the nucleosome core particle at the site where DNA enters and exits, and facilitates folding of the nucleosomes into a higher-order chromatin structure in eukaryotes.

In this important study, Li and others identified cell membrane receptors for juvenile hormone (JH), a terpenoid hormone in insects that regulates their development and reproduction. While ...

Its life cycle includes the egg, caterpillar, pupa and moth stages with a single female moth capable of laying between 400 and 1 300 eggs. The larvae can grow and reproduce quickly, with pupation ...

In contrast, the present study showed that Cad96ca and Fgfr1 G0 mutants only showed a slight acceleration in their pupation timing, which is not a typical phenotype one would expect from JH signaling ...
