Abstract:BACKGROUNDInsulin signalling pathways play crucial roles in regulating growth and development in insects, but their effects on the growth and development of Arachnids, such as spiders, have rarely been studied. As a valuable pest natural enemy in agricultural fields, the molecular mechanisms of insulin signalling pathway‐mediated growth and development of the wolf spider, Pardosa pseudoannulata, are of particular interest.RESULTSIn this study, we identified and characterized six insulin signalling pathway gene… Show more
