The ladybeetle, Coccinella septempunctata, an important predator, is widely used to control aphids, whiteflies, mites, thrips, and lepidopteran pests. Diapause control technology is key to extending C. septempunctata shelf-life and commercialization. Lipid accumulation is a major feature of reproductive diapause, but the function of AKH signaling as a regulator of lipid mobilization in reproductive diapause remains unclear. This study aimed to identify and characterize AKH and AKHR genes, and clarify their functions in reproductive diapause.

七星瓢虫生殖滞育中脂肪运动激素信号的功能分析

瓢虫（七星瓢虫）是一种重要的捕食者，广泛用于防治蚜虫、粉虱、螨虫、蓟马和鳞翅目害虫。滞育控制技术是延长七点七星瓢虫保质期和商业化的关键。脂质积累是生殖滞育的一个主要特征，但 AKH 信号作为生殖滞育中脂质动员调节剂的功能仍不清楚。本研究旨在鉴定和表征AKH和AKHR基因，并阐明它们在生殖滞育中的功能。
