The color of insect eyes is determined largely by the nature of the screening pigments which they contain. These pigments are not involved in light detection but they function to isolate optically each facet of the compound eye from its neighbors and thus enhance contrast sensitivity and visual ac...
Lepidoptera (butterflies and moths) is one of the most geographically widespread insect orders in the world, and its species play important and diverse ecological and applied roles. Climate change is one of the biggest challenges to biodiversity this cen
The epidermis is equipped with specialized mechanosensory organs that enable the detection of tactile stimuli. Here, by examining the differentiation of the tactile bristles, mechanosensory organs decorating the Drosophila adult epidermis, we show that n
Thousands of outer-arm dyneins (OADs) are arrayed in the axoneme to drive a rhythmic ciliary beat. Coordination among multiple OADs is essential for generating mechanical forces to bend microtubule doublets (MTDs). Using electron microscopy, we determine
The life history of the gelechiid was studied using a laboratory maintained colony. Five stages of pupal development could be identified on the basis of eye pigmentation. The sexually dimorphic characters of the adults are described. Male and female adults differed morphologically, and also in thei...
Plaques of SWU1 appear as a unique bull's-eye on an M. smegmatis lawn. In this paper, we report the complete genome sequence of SWU1 and some major findings from the analysis result.关键词: Mycobacteriophages DNA, Viral Soil Microbiology Genome, Viral Molecular Sequence Data China ...
The origin of sex chromosomes requires the establishment of recombination suppression between the proto-sex chromosomes. In many fish species, the sex chromosome pair is homomorphic with a recent origin, providing species for studying how and why recombi
Cell shape is governed by cell mechanics, which explains how a set of intracellular and extracellular forces controls the cell structure. Cells are complex structures, the shape of which can be adequately explained using the concept of surface tension. Surface tension is an equilibrium property that...
Disorders of the eye leading to visual impairment are a major issue that affects millions of people. On the other side ocular toxicities were described for e.g. molecularly targeted therapies in oncology and may hamper their development. Current ocular m
