High impact information on Heteroptera

  • Cytochrome P450 CYP6X1 cDNAs and mRNA expression levels in three strains of the tarnished plant bug Lygus lineolaris (Heteroptera: Miridae) having different susceptibilities to pyrethroid insecticide [1].
  • Vitellogenin polypeptide levels in one susceptible and one cadmium-resistant strain of Oncopeltus fasciatus (Heteroptera: Lygaeidae), and its role in cadmium resistance [2].
  • Fertility and life expectancy of the predator Supputius cincticeps (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) exposed to sublethal doses of permethrin [3].
  • The techniques reported here may be useful for the detection, isolation and characterization of compounds with JH-like activity in P. bioculatus and other species of Heteroptera (which are thought to have JH-like substances other than the JHs with known chemical identity) [4].
  • Previous work showed that females of the European tarnished plant bug, Lygus rugulipennis Poppius (Heteroptera: Miridae), produced three chemicals, hexyl butyrate, (E)-2-hexenyl butyrate, and (E)-4-oxo-2-hexenal, and that these were suspected to be components of the female sex pheromone [5].
 

Biological context of Heteroptera

  • These same techniques may also provide a method for researchers to investigate the interactions of JH-like compounds and other substances, such as ecdysteroid, in the regulation of vitellogenesis in Heteroptera [4].
  • Neurosecretion in the milkweed bug, Lygaeus pandurus scop. (Heteroptera: Lygaeidae) [6].
 

Anatomical context of Heteroptera

 

Associations of Heteroptera with chemical compounds

 

Gene context of Heteroptera

  • Antigonadotropic activities of Precocene 1 (P1), Precocene 2 (P2) and Ethoxyprecocene 2 (EP2) on the seed bug Oxycarenus lavaterae (F.) (Heteroptera, Lygaeidae), are reported [15].
  • Thermal requirements for the development and reproduction of Nysius huttoni White (Heteroptera: Lygaeidae) [16].
