Reproductive diapause serves as a valuable strategy enabling insects to survive unfavorable seasonal conditions. However, forcing insects into diapause when the environment is conducive to their well-being can cause them to miss out on seasonal opportunities for reproduction. This outcome not only reduces insect populations but also minimizes crop losses caused by insect feeding. Therefore, altering the timing of diapause initiation presents a potential strategy for managing pests. In this study, we examined the possible role of the Insulin Receptor 1 (InR1) in controlling reproductive diapause entry in the male cabbage beetle, Colaphellus bowringi.

胰岛素受体 InR1 在启动卷心菜甲虫 Colaphellus Bowringi 雄性生殖滞育中的关键作用（鞘翅目：叶甲科）

生殖滞育是一种有价值的策略，使昆虫能够在不利的季节性条件下生存。然而，当环境有利于昆虫的健康时，强迫昆虫滞育可能会导致它们错过季节性的繁殖机会。这一结果不仅减少了昆虫数量，还最大限度地减少了昆虫取食造成的农作物损失。因此，改变滞育开始的时间是防治害虫的潜在策略。在这项研究中，我们研究了胰岛素受体 1 ( InR1 ) 在控制雄性甘蓝甲虫Colaphellus Bowringi进入生殖滞育过程中的可能作用。
