Role of mitochondrial complex I genes in host plant expansion of Bactrocera tau (Tephritidae: Diptera) by CRISPR/Cas9 system The role of 3 mitochondrial complex I gene in host expansion of Bactrocera tau was verified by CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing system. A stable homogenous strain (Btndufa7-/-) of B.tau was established after...

Clock genes regulate sex pheromone production and male mating ability in Bactrocera dorsalis This study reveals that the reason for the daily rhythmicity of Bactrocera dorsalis mating is due to endogenous genes that regulate the production of sex pheromones in the rectum of males, which in t...

METTL3/METTL14‐mediated RNA m6A modification is involved in male reproductive development in Bactrocera dorsalis The roles of RNA m6A mediated by METTL3 and METTL14 in Bactrocera dorsalis were explored through introducing mutations into METTL3 and METTL14 by CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene knockout. The testes of the....

Top: Several oriental fruit fly females (Bactrocera dorsalis) are laying eggs on a guava; one of them is seen to extend its elongated and pointed ovipositor, preparing to insert it into the fruit to lay eggs.
