• A global-wide search for sexual dimorphism of glomeruli in the antennal lobe of female and male Helicoverpa armigera 

      Zhao, Xin-Cheng; Ma, Bai-Wei; Berg, Bente Gunnveig; Xie, Gui-Ying; Tang, Qing-Bo; Guo, Xian-Ru (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)
      By using immunostaining and three-dimensional reconstruction, the anatomical organization of the antennal lobe glomeruli of the female cotton bollworm Helicoverpa armigera was investigated. Eighty-one glomeruli were ...
    • Brain Organization of Apolygus lucorum: A Hemipteran Species With Prominent Antennal Lobes 

      Xie, Gui-Ying; Ma, Bai-Wei; Liu, Xiao-Lan; Chang, Ya-Jun; Chen, Wen-Bo; Li, Guo-Ping; Feng, Hong-Qiang; Zhang, Yong-Jun; Berg, Bente Gunnveig; Zhao, Xin-Cheng (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      The anatomical organization of distinct regions in the insect brain often reflects their functions. In the present study, the brain structure of Apolygus lucorum was examined by using immunolabeling and three-dimensional ...
    • Central Projections of Antennal and Labial Palp Sensory Neurons in the Migratory Armyworm Mythimna separata 

      Ma, Bai-Wei; Zhao, Xin-Cheng; Berg, Bente Gunnveig; Xie, Gui-Ying; Tang, Qing-Bo; Wang, Gui-Rong (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      The oriental armyworm, Mythimna separata (Walker), is a polyphagous, migratory pest relying on olfactory cues to find mates, locate nectar, and guide long-distance flight behavior. In the present study, a combination of ...
    • Distribution of tachykinin-related peptides in the brain of the tobacco budworm Heliothis virescens 

      Zhao, Xin-Cheng; Xie, Gui-Ying; Berg, Bente Gunnveig; Schachtner, Joachim; Homberg, Uwe (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      Invertebrate tachykinin-related peptides (TKRPs) comprise a group of signaling molecules having sequence similarities to mammalian tachykinins. A growing body of evidence has demonstrated the presence of TKRPs in the central ...
    • Functional map of the macroglomerular complex of male Helicoverpa armigera 

      Liu, Xiaolan; Chu, Xi; Sun, Long-Long; Wang, Ya-Nan; Xie, Gui-Ying; Chen, Wen-Bo; Liu, Yang; Berg, Bente Gunnveig; An, Shi-Heng; Wang, Gui-Rong; Yin, Xin-Ming; Zhao, Xin-Cheng (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      The mechanism of sex pheromone reception in the male cotton bollworm Helicoverpa armigera has been extensively studied because it has become an important model system for understanding insect olfaction. However, the pathways ...
    • Glomerular identification in the antennal lobe of the male moth Helicoverpa armigera 

      Zhao, Xin-Cheng; Chen, Qiu-Yan; Guo, Pei; Xie, Gui-Ying; Tang, Qing-Bo; Guo, Xian-Ru; Berg, Bente Gunnveig (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)
      This study investigates anatomical organization of the antennal lobe (AL) glomeruli of the male cotton bollworm Helicoverpa armigera by synaptic antibody staining combined with three-dimensional reconstruction. To identify ...
