Abstract

Most living organisms have developed internal circadian clocks to anticipate the daily environmental changes. The circadian clocks are composed of several transcriptional-translational feedback loops, in which cryptochromes (CRYs) serve as critical elements. In insects, some CRYs act as photopigments to control circadian photoentrainment, while the others act as transcriptional regulators. We cloned and characterized twocryptochromegenes, theDrosophila-like (lscry1) and vertebrate-like (lscry2) genes, in a rice pestLaodelphax striatellus. Quantitative real-time PCR showed thatlscry1andlscry2expressed ubiquitously from nymph to adult stages as well as in different tissues. The transcript levels oflscry2fluctuated in a circadian manner. Constant light led to arrhythmic locomotor activities inL. striatellus. It also inhibited the mRNA oscillation oflscry2and promoted the transcription oflscry1. Knockdown oflscry1orlscry2by RNA interference (RNAi) reduced the rhythmicity ofL. striatellusin constant darkness, but not in light dark cycles. These results suggested thatlscry1andlscry2were putative circadian clock genes ofL. striatellus, involved in the regulation of locomotor rhythms.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 16 March 2018.
All research outputs
#15,330,390
of 23,577,654 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in Physiology
#5,949
of 14,284 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#201,862
of 331,701 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in Physiology
#167
of 377 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,577,654 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 32nd percentile – i.e., 32% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 14,284 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.7. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 51% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 331,701 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 36th percentile – i.e., 36% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 377 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 50% of its contemporaries.
