The paper characterizes piRNAs, their biogenesis, and their targets in Spodoptera frugiperda, revealing roles beyond transposable element silencing.

This paper introduces a nested PCR approach to optimize rpoB metabarcoding for low-concentration and host-associated bacterial DNA, showing improved amplification efficiency without bias.

This study examines how parental inheritance affects gene expression and metabolism in Spodoptera frugiperda strains and their hybrids, revealing parent-of-origin effects on immune response and metabolic pathways.

This study identifies a viral gene, U16, essential for genome replication of an ichnovirus in ichneumonid wasps, showing its role in DNA amplification and virion production.

The paper analyzes population genomic data of the fall armyworm to show multiple introduction events and gene flow across the Old World.

The paper performs ChIP-Seq to analyze H3K9me2 distribution in S. frugiperda, finding it enriched at telomeres, rDNA, and satellite DNA but not correlated with transcriptional repression.

The paper examines the transcriptional responses of Spodoptera frugiperda tissues to Steinernema carpocapsae infestation, identifying gene expression changes and potential immune effectors acquired via horizontal gene transfer.
