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...

Matsumoto R, Nagata K, Nakamura R, Watanabe T, Hashimoto H
Molecules . 2025 Jan; 29(24. PMID: 39770067
Dihydrogen activation by metallogermylenes was investigated experimentally and theoretically. A neutral NHC-coordinated chlorometallogermylene was synthesized and converted to a cationic base-free metallogermylene of molybdenum via chloride abstraction. The cationic molybdogermylene...

Inoue S, Fujie K, Hamaguchi T, Ishimaru Y, Miyawaki K, Takahashi A, et al.
Insect Biochem Mol Biol . 2024 Dec; 177:104246. PMID: 39653316
The DOPA-decarboxylase (DDC) gene is crucial for dopamine synthesis and influences various biological functions in insects, including body coloration, behavior, learning, and sleep. However, its evolutionary impact remains largely unexplored....

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...

Inoue S, Watanabe T, Hamaguchi T, Ishimaru Y, Miyawaki K, Nikawa T, et al.
PLoS One . 2023 May; 18(5):e0285934. PMID: 37200362
Insect body colors and patterns change markedly during development in some species as they adapt to their surroundings. The contribution of melanin and sclerotin pigments, both of which are synthesized...

Mito T, Ishimaru Y, Watanabe T, Nakamura T, Ylla G, Noji S, et al.
Curr Top Dev Biol . 2022 Mar; 147:291-306. PMID: 35337452
Many researchers are using crickets to conduct research on various topics related to development and regeneration in addition to brain function, behavior, and biological clocks, using advanced functional and perturbational...

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...

Hirose J, Watanabe T, Futagami T, Fujihara H, Kimura N, Suenaga H, et al.
Microorganisms . 2021 Dec; 9(12). PMID: 34946064
Integrative and conjugative elements (ICEs) are chromosomally integrated self-transmissible mobile genetic elements. Although some ICEs are known to carry genes for the degradation of aromatic compounds, information on their genetic...

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,...
