Mutation of the seminal protease gene, serine protease 2, results in male sterility in diverse lepidopterans.
Xia Xu,Yaohui Wang,Hong-Lun Bi,Jun Xu,Zulian Liu,Chang-Ying Niu,Lin He,Anthony A. James,Kai Li,Yongping Huang +9 more
TL;DR: The conclusion that Ser2 gene is necessary for male reproductive success in diverse lepidopterans is supported, as CRISPR/Cas9 technology disrupting Ser2 resulted in dominant heritable male sterility and no differences in other reproductive behaviors in the mutant males are detected.

Disruption of the ovarian serine protease (Osp) gene causes female sterility in Bombyx mori and Spodoptera litura
Xia Xu,Xia Xu,Hong-Lun Bi,Hong-Lun Bi,Yaohui Wang,Xiaowei Li,Jun Xu,Zulian Liu,Lin He,Kai Li,Yongping Huang +10 more
TL;DR: It is found that the deletion of Osp resulted in female sterility, whereas male fertility was not affected and this gene is a potential molecular target for genetic-based pest management.

Yaohui Wang,Gangqi Fang,Xien Chen,Yanghui Cao,Ningning Wu,Qian Cui,Chenxu Zhu,Lansa Qian,Yongping Huang,Shuai Zhan +9 more
TL;DR: The black cutworm (BCW), Agrotis ipsilon, is a worldwide polyphagous and underground pest that causes a high level of economic loss to a wide range of crops through the damage of roots as mentioned in this paper.

Disruption of egg-specific protein causes female sterility in Bombyx mori.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored the gene function of Esp through transgenic clustered regularly interspaced palindromic repeats (CRISPR) / CRISPR-associated protein 9 technology-mediated mutations in the silkworm.

5'-Nucleotidase Plays a Key Role in Uric Acid Metabolism of Bombyx mori.
Linmeng Tang,Dehong Yang,Yaohui Wang,Xu Yang,Kai Chen,Xingyu Luo,Jun Xu,Yujia Liu,Zheng Tang,Qianqian Zhang,Zhiwei Liu,Yongping Huang,Yongping Huang +12 more
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the Bm5′N gene plays a crucial role in the uric acid metabolism of the silkworm and that loss of the 5′N affected purine metabolism and the ABC transport pathway.
