Sentence examples for wasp development from inspiring English sources

Fewer, or defective, teratocytes may prevent the creation of an environment suitable for wasp development.

Polyploid teratocytes are believed to be involved in redirecting resources from aphid to wasp development [ 28, 29].

Endoparasitoid wasps such as A. ervi typically employ both maternal and embryonic factors to counter host defenses and create an environment suitable for wasp development [ 26].

Based on the negative impact of these symbionts on parasitic wasp development [ 23], we predicted that facultative symbionts may also play a role in defense against predation.

Our data therefore support a two-step mechanism by which endosymbionts induce thelytoky in A. japonica: diploidization of the unfertilized egg is followed by feminization, whereby each step correlates with a threshold of endosymbiont titer during wasp development.

Further, we show that Rickettsia that is ingested during wasp larval development may penetrate the host hemocoel and infect the ovaries, but do not appear to invade the developing oocytes (Figs. 4 6), preventing vertical transmission in the wasp.

In the first case, the insect host may mobilize the free Rickettsia cells to counter the wasp's development.

Encarsia pergandiella was not treated the same way because neither Rickettsia nor Hamiltonella were detected in adult wasps after development in infected whiteflies.

Implications and future directions These findings introduce WASP-knockout K562 cells as a new model for studying the role of WASP in megakaryocytic development.

The parasitized hosts were then transferred into empty vials in which the wasp larvae completed development.

Wasps selectively deposit two or more eggs in symbiont-defended hosts, even though only one wasp can complete development within a single aphid.
