“…The clade (Blaberidae + Blattellidae) has been called as Blaberoidea, which was supported by many studies [13, 15, 59–61]. Previous studies on the position of Blaberoidea had a variety of conclusions.…”

“…rhombifolia , ATG also was the most common start codon and occurred in the other eight PCGs except for COX1 (TTG), ATP8, ND6 and ND3 (ATT), and ND5 (ATA). COX1 uses TTG as the start codon which is an accepted conventional start codon for blattarian mitogenomes [10, 13, 39]. As for the termination codons, TAA and TAG were commonly used except COX2, ATP6, ND3, ND6, and CytB in P .…”

“…rhombifolia , besides tRNA-Ser (AGN), tRNA-Arg also can’t be spotted by tRNAScan-SE, in which the T-arm contained six paired nucleotides. These transfer RNAs were determined through comparison with previously published blattarian mitogenomes [10, 13, 41]. The secondary structures of most tRNA genes of the two mitogenomes were conversed except for tRNA-Lys, which only had four paired nucleotides in the anticodon arm.…”

“…Previous studies also provided different perspective on the position of Polyphagidae. Cheng et al [13] supported that Polyphagidae as the the basal group of Blattodea based on mitochondrial PCGs in NJ and MP analyses. Pellens et al [63] placed Polyphagidae as sister to Cryptocercidae + Isoptera + Blattidae based on a combined data set of 12S, 16S, 18S, and COX2.…”

“…Although there are many studies on the relationships among the dictyopteran subgroups, the consensus about the relationships among different dictyopteran lineages has not been reached. Most studies supported the Blaberidae and Blattellidae clustered into a clade [11–13], but its position relationship within Blattaria is still disputed [11–12, 14]. Besides, a consensus about the relationships among remaining dictyopteran (Polyphagidae, Nocticolidae, Blattidae, Lamproblattidae, Tryonicidae) lineages has not yet been reached: In the molecular studies, Maekawa and Matsumoto [11] concluded Blattidae was a sister group to Blaberidae + Blattellidae and the Polyphagidae was at the base of Blattaria, while Legendre et al [15] supported the basal position of Blattodea was Blaberidae + Blattellidae, and that Polyphagidae + Nocticolidae was the sister group of all other remaining Blattodea, and Djernæs et al found that Lamproblattidae + Blattidae was the sister clade to (Nocticolidae + Polyphagidae) + (Cryptocercidae + Isoptera) [7].…”

Complete mitochondrial genomes of two blattid cockroaches, Periplaneta australasiae and Neostylopyga rhombifolia, and phylogenetic relationships within the Blattaria

Complete mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) of two cockroach species, Periplaneta australasiae and Neostylopyga rhombifolia, 15,605 bp and 15,711 bp in length, respectively, were determined. As reported for other cockroach mitogenomes, the two mitogenomes possessed typical ancestral insect mitogenome gene composition and arrangement. Only several small intergenic spacers were found: one, which was common in all sequenced cockroach mitogenomes except for the genus Cryptocercus, was between tRNA-Ser (UCN) and ND1 and contained a 7bp highly conserved motif (WACTTAA). Three different types of short tandem repeats in the N. rhombifolia control region (CR) were observed. The homologous alignments of these tandem repeats with other six cockroach mitogenome CRs revealed a low similarity. Three conserved sequence blocks (CSB) were detected in both cockroach mitochondrial CRs. CSB1 was specific for blattinine mitogenomes and was highly conserved with 95% similarity, speculating that this block was a possible molecular synapomorphy for this subfamily. CSB3 located nearby downstream of CSB1 and has more variations within blattinine mitogenomes compared with CSB1. The CSB3 was capable of forming stable stem-loop structure with a small T-stretch in the loop portion. We assessed the influence of four datasets and two inference methods on topology within Orthopteroidea. All genes excluding the third codon positions of PCGs could generate more stable topology, and higher posterior probabilities than bootstrap values were presented at some branch nodes. The phylogenetic analysis with different datasets and analytical methods supported the monophyly of Dictyoptera and supported strongly the proposal that Isoptera should be classified as a family (Termitidae) of the Blattaria. Specifically, Shelfordella lateralis was inserted in the clade Periplaneta. Considering the K2P genetic distance, morphological characters, and the phylogenetic trees, we suggested that S. lateralis should be placed in the genus Periplaneta.

BACKGROUND: Photopharmacology is a fast-growing photonics-based technology, which realizes the high-resolution regulation of drugs in time and space through light. The purpose of this research was to introduce photochromic groups into the isoxazoline structure to realize the regulation of γ-Aminobutyric acid receptors (GABARs) targeting insect behavior.RESULTS: Azobenzene-Fluralaner analogs ABF02, ABF03 and ABF04 have been proven to have larvicidal activity against mosquito larvae. Cis-ABF03 had excellent larvicidal activity against mosquito larvae with a median lethal concentration (LC 50 ) value of 1.63, which was better than that of trans-ABF03 (LC 50 = 3.90). In particular, ABF03 also showed insecticidal activity against Mythimna separata. Further experiments showed that ABF03 (1 ∼M) induced depolarization of dorsal unpaired median neurons after ultraviolet light irradiation, enhanced affinity to the receptor, and blocked ligand-gated chloride channels of GABARs. ABF03 (1 ∼M) realized the real-time photoregulation of the behavior of mosquito larvae, which indicated that the synthesized ligand can complete the binding and off-target action of drugs and targets in vivo under the regulation of light.CONCLUSION: Azobenzene-Isoxazoline as photopharmacological ligand was synthesized and evaluated for optical control of insect GABARs and behavior for the first time. ABF03 completed the differential regulation of cockroach neurons and the real-time reversible regulation of insect behavior. The establishment of photochromic ligands provides a new strategy for basic and convenience-oriented research on GABARs in invertebrates.
