Role of 14-3-3zeta in the modulation ofmodulation in Nilaparvata lugens(Hemiptera:Delphacidae)
Nilaparvata lugens, a devastating rice pest, outbreaks frequently due to strong reproductive capacity, causing lodging and yield loss, Its enhanced pesticide resistance and chemcial pollution highlight the urgency of studying its reproductive mechanism at the molecular level. 14-3-3zeta, a highly conserved eukaryotic signal transduction molecule involved in cell cycle and hormone signaling, is linked to insect ovarian development and vitellogenesis, but its function in Nilaparvata lugens remains unclear. this study focuese on this to explore green control targets. Its regulatory potential lies in vitellogenesis regulation, hormone signaling mediation, and potential ''male effect'' via male accessory glands. The gene has been cloned, with high expression in female ovaries, fat bodies and male accessory glands. Subsequent work will verify its function via RNAi and protein interaction experiments, enabling precision pest control.
