“…MATERIAL AND METHODS: Here, we used RNA interference (RNAi) to silence three members of the Attacin family genes in the mealworm beetle, Tenebrio molitor: (TmAttacin1a (TmAtt1a), TmAttacin1b (TmAtt1b), and TmAttacin2 (TmAtt2) both individually and in combination. …”

“…In order to gain insight into the immune response of Tenebrio molitor to parasitization by Scleroderma guani, the transcriptome of T. molitor pupae was sequenced with focus on immune-related gene, and the non-parasitized and parasitized T. molitor pupae were analyzed by digital gene expression (DGE) analysis with special emphasis on parasitoid-induced immune-related genes using Illumina sequencing. …”

“…We investigated the influence of agonists (acetylcholine, carbachol, and pilocarpine) and antagonists (tropane alkaloids: atropine and scopolamine) of mAChRs on the level of selected metabolites in Tenebrio molitor beetle trophic tissues. We analyzed the glycogen content in the fat body and midgut, the total free sugar concentration in the hemolymph and the lipid amount in the fat body. …”
