The oriental fruit fly Bactrocera dorsalis is one of the most destructive pests of fruits and vegetables. The sterile insect technique (SIT) is an effective and environmentally friendly approach to the control of tephritid fruit flies. The pro‐apoptotic gene head involution defective (hid) has been used as an effective lethal effector in SIT. It initiates an interaction cascade including activation of caspase‐like proteases. However, the biological role of caspase activity in tephritid fruit flies has yet to be explored.

Bactrocera dorsalis caspase-1基因在整个发育过程中表达，是女性生育所必需的。

东方果蝇小实蝇是水果和蔬菜中最具破坏性的害虫之一。昆虫不育技术（SIT）是一种有效且环保的方法，可控制灭蝇特果蝇。促凋亡基因头部对合缺陷（hid）已被用作SIT中的有效致死效应物。它启动了一个相互作用级联反应，包括激活半胱天冬酶样蛋白酶。然而，半胱氨酸天冬氨酸蛋白酶活性在生蝇中的生物学作用尚待探索。
