Abstract:BACKGROUNDMating and oviposition are essential and closely coordinated events in the reproduction of moths. Although tyramine, a biogenic amine, can affect insect reproduction by binding its receptors, the specific regulatory mechanism has not yet been fully elucidated.RESULTSPlutella xylostella mutant with tyramine receptor 1 (TAR1) knockout (homozygous mutant with 7‐bp deletion, Mut7) was developed by the CRISPR/Cas9 system to investigate the effect of TAR1 knockout on the reproduction of the moth.
