XDXiaohui Duan SWSongyuan Wu YZYuhao Zhou

Key Points

This research investigates the function of the otu gene in male fertility and spermatogenesis in Bombyx mori.
Analyzed the regulation of spermatogenesis by the otu gene
Investigated the conservation of the otu gene in lepidopterans
Explored potential applications for pest management strategies
Identified a crucial role for the otu gene in regulating male fertility
Demonstrated that otu influences spermatogenesis in Bombyx mori
Highlighted the conservation of otu across lepidopteran species

Abstract

These findings uncover a previously uncharacterized role of otu in regulating spermatogenesis and male fertility in insects. As the otu gene is highly conserved in lepidopterans, it might be a potential molecular target for genetics-based pest management. © 2026 Society of Chemical Industry.
