Our laboratory uses Pseudolycoriella hygida (Diptera: Sciaridae) as a study model. This unconventional model organism was isolated on the Ribeirão Preto campus 60 years ago and has been maintained in the laboratory ever since. Sciarids live in the soil, where they act as decomposers of partially decomposed plant litter. The ongoing grant (Auxílio Regular, 2024/23632-7) aims to expand know…
Our laboratory employs Pseudolycoriella hygida (Diptera: Sciaridae) as a model. This sciarid was isolated on the Ribeirão Preto campus in 1965 and has been kept in the laboratory ever since. Sciarids live in the soil, where they act as decomposers of partially decomposed plant material. To study Psl. hygida, we have several tools at our disposal, including a high-quality cytogenetic map a…
Soil biota have a crucial impact on soil ecology, global climate changes and effective crop management and studying the diverse ecological roles of dipteran larvae deepens the understanding of soil food webs. A multi-omics study of Pseudolycoriella hygida comb. nov. (Diptera: Sciaroidea: Sciaridae) aimed to characterise carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes) for litter degradation in this …
Sciarid DNA puff genes are amplified and expressed in a developmentally regulated manner in the salivary gland in response to the increase in ecdysone levels that precede metamorphosis. Data derived from functional studies in the model organism Drosophila melanogaster revealed the existence of cis-regulatory modules that drive gene expression in the salivary gland and the ring gland in th…

The DNA puff C4 BhC4-1 gene of Bradysia hygiene is amplified and expressed in a regulated manner in two larval tissues, the prothoracic gland, and the salivary gland. Functional studies in Drosophila melanogaster revealed that the molecular mechanisms that regulate BhC4-1 expression are conserved in D. melanogaster and resulted in the identification of cis-regulatory modules that regulate…
Our laboratory investigates the molecular mechanisms that promote developmentally regulated patterns of gene expression in eukaryotes. As a model, we employ the BhC4-1 DNA puff gene, which is amplified and expressed in a developmentally regulated manner at the end of the fourth larval instar of B. hygida. The functional analyses of the BhC4-1 promoter region lead to the identification of …
Our laboratory investigates mechanisms controlling gene expression in metazoans. As a model we employ the DNA puff gene BhC4-1, which is expressed at the end of the larval development of the sciarid Bradysia hygida. Functional assays in the model organism Drosophila melanogaster led to the identification of a salivary gland 129 bp (-186/-58) enhancer in the BhC4-1 promoter. Although the d…
