DOI: 10.1093/jisesa/ieac045
Abstract: Abstract The insect olfactory system plays pivotal roles in insect survival and reproduction through odor detection. Morphological and physiological adaptations are caste-specific and evolved independently in workers, soldiers, and reproductives in termites. However, it is… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s12864-019-6149-4
Abstract: BackgroundThe insect cuticle is mainly composed of exocuticle and endocuticle layers that consist of a large number of structural proteins. The thickness and synthesis of the exocuticle depend on different castes that perform various functions… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s13068-017-0890-1
Abstract: BackgroundThe yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a promising host for lignocellulosic bioethanol production, is unable to metabolize xylose. In attempts to confer xylose utilization ability in S. cerevisiae, a number of xylose isomerase (XI) genes have been… read more here.
