- Transcriptome of larva and adult lanterns and larvae fatty body of Elateroidea (Coleoptera), BP.PD
Abstract
The Bioluminescence in beetles is mainly found in the superfamily Elateroidea. Although the biochemistry of the bioluminescent system and the morphology of the fireflies lanterns are well studied, the origin and evolution of lanterns in different families is not well understood. Furthermore, the biosynthetic origin of luciferin, a benzotiazolic compound which is a substrate for the biol...
- Molecular evolution of the luciferases of the lanterns from the adult and larval stages of luminescent elaterids and molecular phylogeny of Elateroidea, BP.DD
Abstract
Several luminescent beetle luciferases have been cloned and sequenced, mainly from species of Lampyridae family. Despite many luciferases were cloned, luciferases from different life stages (egg, larva and adult) of the same species were not cloned and compared yet. This study is particularly relevant to better understand the ontogeny and molecular evolution of luciferases and biolumine...

- Genome sequencing and assembly of Phrixotrhix hirtus (Phengodidae: Coleoptera), BE.EP.PD
Abstract
Bioluminescence, the light emission produced by living organisms, has been widely found in terrestrial habitats in Elateroidea superfamily. The mechanism of light production in this superfamily is well known, however studies about genome organization and size are not discussed yet. The functional genomic projects are helping to identify important structural and functional elements of ge...
- Transcriptome profile of Orfelia fultoni (Diptera: Keroplatidae): investigating genes and routes involved with bioluminescence in Diptera, BE.EP.PD
Abstract
Bioluminescence has been widely found in many different taxa and habitats. Among terrestrial organisms, bioluminescence is mainly described in Coleoptera and Diptera. In Diptera order, bioluminescence occurs in Keroplatus, Arachnocampa and Orfelia genus (Keroplatidae). Oferlia fultoni occurs in stream banks in the Appalachian Mountains at North Caroline and uses the bioluminescence as l...
- Organization and comparative analysis of the mitochondrial genome for phylogenetic studies in Elateroidea (Coleoptera: Polyphaga), BE.EP.DD
Abstract
Bioluminescence, in beetles, occurs mainly within the families Elateriade, Lampyridae and Phengodidae (Elateroidea). The origin of bioluminescence within the superfamily Elateroidea is still a mystery, due to the convergence between luminescent and non luminescent families, mainly in the Elateridae family. The phylogeny of these families is not clear yet; different molecular markers di...
