| Abstract | (in Japanese) | (See Japanese page) |
| (in English) | A cricket Gryllus bimaculatus is a typical hemimetabolous intermediate germ insect, in which the processes of segmentation and appendage formation differ considerably from those in Drosophila, a holometabolous long germ insect. Furthermore, the nymph of cricket possesses the ability to regenerate these legs. To gain insight into molecular mechanisms of development and leg regeneration, we established the embryonic, parental and nymphal RNAi techniques to analyze their functions. Our RNAi analyses revealed that (1) Caudal probably acts as a crucial morphogen with a posterior-to-anterior gradient to form of posterior region; (2) the Wingless signaling pathway is involved in the process of leg regeneration and determination of positional information in the leg segment; (3) Fragile X, Gryllus ortholog of responsible gene for human fragile x syndrome, is involved in cricket calling song; (4) Laccase 2 coding for diphenol oxidase is involved in cuticle tanning (or sclerotization and pigmentation) in cricket. | |
