The eggplant fruit and shoot borer (EFSB) (Leucinodes orbonalis Guenée) is a devastating lepidopteran pest of eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) in the Philippines. Management of an insect pest like the EFSB requires an understanding of its biology, evolution, and adaptations. Genomic resources provide a starting point for understanding EFSB biology,...

RNA sequencing was used to assemble transcriptome data for Philippine-reared silkworm and compare gene expression profiles of strains reared in high- and low-temperature environments. RNA was isolated from the silk glands of fifth instar larvae and mRNA-enriched libraries were sequenced using Illumina NextSeq 500. Transcriptome reads were assembled...

Silkworm, Bombyx mori L., research involves studies on improving strains for enhanced sustainability of high-quality silk production. Several of these have investigated the factors affecting growth and development of silkworm larvae and cocoon characteristics that subsequently affect the yield and quality of silk. The gut microbiota has been report...

... All these results provide data and methods with which to develop strategies for enhancing silk production in B. mori. Moreover, de la Peña et al. [12] compared RNA-seq transcriptional profiles of silk glands belonging to various silkworm strains commonly reared in the Philippines and maintained under different temperature conditions, producing a set of information useful for the genetic improvement of B. mori strains and to increase their silk productivity in this geographical area. Finally, the article by Baci et al. [13] reports a comprehensive overview of the most advanced genome-editing techniques performed in B. mori, using the CRISPR/Cas9 methodology. ...
... Particularly, Delftia species have been related to the ability to degrade organophosphates [31], and some strains are associated with degradation routes for di-n-butylphthalate (DBP, industrial pollutant) [32]. In the same way, these bacteria can produce bacteriocins against some bacterial and fungal pathogens [33][34][35][36]. This genus has been found in the coffee insect pest Hypothenemus hampei Ferrari (Coleoptera: Curculion- idae) [37] and was isolated from the gut of chlorpyrifos ethyl-resistant insect larvae [38]. ...
