Glycogen metabolism influences embryonic segmentation and appendages outgrowth during Tribolium castaneum embryogenesis
(2022-02-17)Embryonic segmentation of arthropods is a dynamic biological process that produces an organism by pattern formation, morphogenesis and specification of corresponding cells. The involved genes have mostly been identified ... -
RNA interference: Process and Application to Pest Control
(2020-07-28)Innovation is one of the keys to ensure effective insect pest control in crop protection. A much discussed novelty to insect pest management is represented by RNA interference (RNAi). Employing this conserved virus defense ... -
The role of Tc-foxQ2 in the central brain development in Tribolium castaneum
(2019-01-24)The brain is the most complex organ in animals. It controls and coordinates operations like physiology and behavior. The insect brain is built by a conserved set of neuropils which arise from the neuroblasts (NBs). The ... -
Exploring morphological innovation and diversification: Analysis of genes involved in gin-trap formation and antenna remodeling during metamorphosis in Tribolium castaneum
(2017-08-18)How morphological traits originate and diversify is a central question in evolutionary biology. Insects are the most diverse group of animals on the planet and over 80% of insect species belong to the subgroup of holometabola. ... -
Application of RNA Interference for the Study of Lethal Genes and Dynamic Processes
(2016-02-08)RNA interference (RNAi) is a highly conserved cellular mechanism and in the last years it has become to a major tool for functional analyses of genes in different species. Moreover, RNAi has recently been suggested as a ... -
Identification and analysis of novel insect head patterning genes
(2015-09-24)The insect head is a composite structure of several segments and an anterior non-segmental region. Due to head involution, the Drosophila larval head is strongly reduced and for technical reasons the developmental basis ... -
Formation of the Clypeolabral Region During Embryonic Head Development of the Red Flour Beetle Tribolium castaneum
(2012-07-26)Insects are segmented organisms but the number of segments contributing to the head is disputed. The most anterior head region is patterned differently from the rest of the body and, therefore, is considered to be ... -
Functional analysis of embryonic brain development in Tribolium castaneum
(2011-08-31)The brain is one of the most complex organs in animals. It allows the coordination of complex operations like orientation and directed movements. In insects, a structure in the brain has ... -
Analysis of Tribolium head patterning by forward and reverse genetics and transgenic techniques
(2009-09-09)In this thesis several different methods have been applied to get deeper insights into the complex process of head development in insects. As model organism the red flour beetle Tribolium ... -
Funktion und Evolution von hochkonservierten Kopfgenen im Reismehlkäfer Tribolium castaneum
(2009-09-09)The anterior-posterior axis of all bilaterian animals is subdivided into a posterior region marked by the expression of highly conserved Hox-cluster genes and an anterior region free of ...
