Kawamoto K, Ishimaru Y, Tomonari S, Watanabe T, Noji S, Mito T
Insect Biochem Mol Biol . 2025 Feb; 178:104274. PMID: 39947524
In hemimetabolous insects, the developmental process of nymphs is divided into three growth phases, i.e., juvenile hormone (JH)-independent, JH-dependent, and JH-free phases. The wing primordium in hemimetabolous insects is formed...

Matsuoka Y, Nakamura T, Watanabe T, Barnett A, Tomonari S, Ylla G, et al.
Development . 2024 Nov; 152(1). PMID: 39514640
Studies of traditional model organisms such as the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster have contributed immensely to our understanding of the genetic basis of developmental processes. However, the generalizability of these...

Yamashita T, Ohde T, Nakamura T, Ishimaru Y, Watanabe T, Tomonari S, et al.
Dev Growth Differ . 2023 Jun; 65(6):348-359. PMID: 37310211
The acquisition of wings was a key event in insect evolution. As hemimetabolous insects were the first group to acquire functional wings, establishing the mechanisms of wing formation in this...

Nakamura Y, Tomonari S, Kawamoto K, Yamashita T, Watanabe T, Ishimaru Y, et al.
Dev Biol . 2022 Feb; 485:1-8. PMID: 35196518
Comparing the developmental mechanisms of segmentation among insects with different modes of embryogenesis provides insights on how the function of segmentation genes evolved. Functional analysis of eve by genetic mutants...

Hirata M, Wittayarat M, Namula Z, Le Q, Lin Q, Takebayashi K, et al.
Sci Rep . 2021 Dec; 11(1):23806. PMID: 34903813
The specificity and efficiency of CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing systems are determined by several factors, including the mode of delivery, when applied to mammalian embryos. Given the limited time window for delivery,...
6.
Ylla G, Nakamura T, Itoh T, Kajitani R, Toyoda A, Tomonari S, et al.
Commun Biol . 2021 Jun; 4(1):733. PMID: 34127782
Most of our knowledge of insect genomes comes from Holometabolous species, which undergo complete metamorphosis and have genomes typically under 2 Gb with little signs of DNA methylation. In contrast,...

Ishimaru Y, Tomonari S, Watanabe T, Noji S, Mito T
Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci . 2019 Aug; 374(1783):20190225. PMID: 31438810
Juvenile hormones and the genetic interaction between the transcription factors Krüppel homologue 1 (Kr-h1) and Broad (Br) regulate the transformation of insects from immature to adult forms in both types...

Kamemura N, Sugimoto M, Tamehiro N, Adachi R, Tomonari S, Watanabe T, et al.
Mol Immunol . 2019 Jan; 106:127-134. PMID: 30597474
Food scarcity is a serious problem for many developing as well as developed countries. Edible insects have attracted attention recently as a novel food source. Crickets are especially high in...

Sato K, Yamashita T, Ohuchi H, Takeuchi A, Gotoh H, Ono K, et al.
Nat Commun . 2018 Mar; 9(1):1255. PMID: 29593298
Most opsins are G protein-coupled receptors that utilize retinal both as a ligand and as a chromophore. Opsins' main established mechanism is light-triggered activation through retinal 11-cis-to-all-trans photoisomerization. Here we...

Kato M, Sugiyama T, Sakai K, Yamashita T, Fujita H, Sato K, et al.
PLoS One . 2016 Nov; 11(11):e0163925. PMID: 27861495
Opsin family genes encode G protein-coupled seven-transmembrane proteins that bind a retinaldehyde chromophore in photoreception. Here, we sought potential as yet undescribed avian retinal photoreceptors, focusing on Opsin 3 homologs...
