Trehalose, a non-reducing disaccharide, is widespread throughout the biological world. It is
the major blood sugar in insects playing a crucial role as an instant source of energy and in …

The blood-sucking hemipteran Rhodnius prolixus is a vector of Chagas disease, one of the
most neglected tropical diseases affecting several million people, mostly in Latin America …

Background RNA interference is a very effective approach for studies on gene function and
may be an efficient method for controlling pests. Trehalase is a key gene in the chitin …

Using the blood-sucking kissing bug, Rhodnius prolixus as an experimental model, we have
studied the involvement of insulin-like peptides (ILPs) and adipokinetic hormone (AKH) …

Trehalose is a substrate for the chitin synthesis pathway in insects. Thus, it directly affects
chitin synthesis and metabolism. Trehalose-6-phosphate synthase (TPS) is a crucial enzyme …

Trehalose is a non-reducing disaccharide that plays a key role in the response to cold and
other environmental stressors in insects. Harmonia axyridis (Pallas) is an important natural …

Trehalases (treh) have been found in different organisms, such as bacteria, fungi, yeast,
nematodes, insects, vertebrates, and plants. Their biochemical properties are extremely …

Trehalase (Tre) is a crucial enzyme involved in trehalose metabolism, and it plays pivotal
roles in insect development and metamorphosis. However, the biological function of Tre …

Trehalose represents the main hemolymph sugar in many insects, and it functions in energy
