Abstract:BACKGROUND: Zeugodacus cucurbitae (Coquillett), a significant pest of fruit and vegetable in tropical and subtropical regions, is influenced by short-term high temperatures in its development and reproduction. Vitellogenin (Vg) is an essential precursor of yolk protein formation in eggs and plays a vital role in ovarian development of insect. Interfering Z. cucurbitae vitellogenin receptor (ZcVgR) gene in short-term high temperature background decreases the fecundity of female adults, while the transcription l… Show more
