45 results about "Instar" patented technology

An instar (/ˈɪnstɑːr/ , from the Latin "form", "likeness") is a developmental stage of arthropods, such as insects, between each moult (ecdysis), until sexual maturity is reached. Arthropods must shed the exoskeleton in order to grow or assume a new form. Differences between instars can often be seen in altered body proportions, colors, patterns, changes in the number of body segments or head width. After moulting, i.e. shedding their exoskeleton, the juvenile arthropods continue in their life cycle until they either pupate or moult again. The instar period of growth is fixed; however, in some insects, like the salvinia stem-borer moth, the number of instars depends on early larval nutrition. Some arthropods can continue to moult after sexual maturity, but the stages between these subsequent moults are generally not called instars.

An indoor artificial breeding method of chilo suppressalis

ActiveCN122123348BArthropod mouthpartsArtificial rearing
This application discloses an indoor artificial rearing method for the rice stem borer, belonging to the field of insect rearing technology. This method addresses the problems of drowning in young larvae and frequent disease outbreaks in older larvae caused by homogeneous rearing across all generations. It constructs a constant-temperature environment and prepares granular dry feed for young larvae and slightly dehydrated flake feed for older larvae based on differences in larval mouthparts. A heterogeneous three-dimensional rearing device is used. In the young larvae stage, a slow-release substrate at the bottom maintains a vertical humidity gradient, and layered feeding prevents mechanical damage to the larvae. In the older larvae stage, substrate-free bare-bottom rearing and full-volume replacement feeding are employed. Timely removal of filamentous netting blocks the breeding environment for soft rot. Furthermore, the method combines pupation induction with corrugated paper induction and non-contact moisturizing, humidification during the adult dark period to delay gelatinous hardening, and overall substrate replacement during the light period to achieve damage-free egg mass harvesting. This application, through precise age-based management, significantly improves the survival rate and population propagation efficiency of the rice stem borer across all generations.

Habitat reconstruction-based precise breeding and efficient breeding method of lamprotula lehmhausii

PendingCN122350008ACyprinusWater flow
This invention discloses a precise and efficient breeding method for *Cyprinus dorsiflorus* based on habitat reconstruction. The breeding pond is divided into a parent mussel rearing area and a glochidia larva metamorphosis development area by a barrier wall consisting of an upper, switchable isolation net and a lower, fixed partition. The glochidia larva metamorphosis development area is constructed with a 20-mesh movable net forming two layers. After laying the substrate, mature parent mussels and host fish are introduced. The temperature is controlled at 22.0–24.0℃, and fertilization is promoted with a water flow of 0.08–0.15 m / s, while glochidia larvae are cultivated with a water flow of 0.06–0.10 m / s. Once the glochidia larvae in the brood pouch mature, the isolation net is opened, and the water flow is adjusted to 0.02–0.05 m / s to promote parasitism. Every 6–8 days, the parasitized and molted parent mussels and host fish are circulated and exchanged. After the molted mussels molt, they are threaded through the net and placed into the lower substrate for in-situ cultivation. This method achieves in-situ integration of fertilization, parasitism, and cultivation, significantly improving the parasitism rate and the survival rate of juvenile mussels. It is suitable for the preservation, propagation, and large-scale seedling cultivation of *Cyprinus cuspidatum*.

Chitin synthase 1 (LmCHS1) gene, its dsRNA, its synthesis method, and its insect resistance application in the leafminer moth.

This invention discloses the chitin synthase 1 (LmCHS1) gene of the leafminer moth, its dsRNA, its synthesis method, and its insect-resistant applications. Through transcriptome analysis, specific primer pairs for the open reading frame of the LmCHS1 gene were designed and synthesized. The LmCHS1 gene sequence was obtained through gene cloning (nucleotide sequence: SEQ ID NO: 1, amino acid sequence: SEQ ID NO: 2). The gene fragment with sequence SEQ ID NO: 3 was selected as the RNAi target sequence. Primer pairs SEQ ID NO: 6 and SEQ ID NO: 7 with restriction enzyme sites were designed and synthesized. PCR amplification was performed, and a prokaryotic expression vector was constructed to induce dsRNA expression. Feeding leafminer moth larvae with dsRNA interfered with LmCHS1 gene expression. After 24 hours, abnormalities were observed in the larvae's body surface, with some larvae failing to complete molting or dying due to an inability to form a normal body surface after molting. After 96 hours, the larval mortality rate was 72.22%, compared to 40% in the GFP control group, demonstrating a significant effect. This invention has broad application prospects in the control of the leaf borer pest in forestry due to its high efficiency, specificity, and safety.

A method for rearing of a juvenile of a red deer click beetle

PendingCN122350039AAnimal scienceFishery
This invention belongs to the field of animal husbandry technology, specifically relating to a method for raising larvae of the deer slender-bodied stag beetle. The method includes the following steps: larvae are raised in lightly fermented sawdust (containing 25%–30% lignin) at 22°C–23°C to obtain third-instar larvae. These larvae are then removed and transferred to new lightly fermented sawdust at 19°C–20°C for three months. After another three months of raising in the same sawdust at 17°C–18°C, the late third-instar larvae are obtained. These third-instar larvae are then raised in new lightly fermented sawdust at 14°C–15°C until they reach a weight of 25g–30g, completing the larval rearing process.
