Background RNA interference (RNAi) induced through double stranded RNA (dsRNA) has
been used widely to study gene function in insects. Recently, it has been reported that gene …

Liquid–liquid phase separation (LLPS) of proteins into biomolecular condensates has emerged
as a fundamental principle underpinning cellular function and malfunction. Indeed, many …

The adoption of pest-resistant transgenic plants to reduce yield loss and pesticide utilization
has been successful in the past three decades. Recently, transgenic plant expressing …

Background Trehalase, an enzyme that hydrolyzes trehalose to yield two glucose molecules,
plays a pivotal role in various physiological processes. In recent years, trehalase proteins …

Vitellogenin receptors (VgRs), members of the low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR)
superfamily, are responsible for taking vitellogenin (Vg) into developing oocytes. Here the first full-…

Background 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E) and its receptor complex ecdysone receptor (EcR)
and ultraspiracle (USP) play a crucial role in controlling development, metamorphosis, …

Purpose Drawing on the literature of eco-innovation and institutional theory, this research aims
to answer two fundamental questions: Does eco-innovation improve or harm firm value in …

In recent decades, firms increasingly engage in green innovation activities to address the
bourgeoning environmental crisis. Despite the importance of green innovation in determining …

Trehalose is an important disaccharide and a key regulation factor for the development of
many organisms, including plants, bacteria, fungi and insects. In order to study the trehalose …

Insect chitinases are a multigene family that is encoded by a rather large and diverse group
of genes. The main function of chitinases is to digest the chitin contained in tissues such as …
