Special Issue Information
Dear colleagues,
Large numbers of insect signaling peptides and their receptors have been uncovered in recent studies. New questions and conceptual shifts within studies of insect signaling peptide have arisen from discoveries of new receptors, along with an enhanced understanding of the downstream mechanisms in the post genomics era. Fostering such studies in a rapidly expanding multidisciplinary environment requires an integrative view of the knowledge that may lead us to general principles in biology and enhance the application of discoveries in cross-disciplinary areas. For this Special Issue, we encourage authors to contribute original articles in research or review: recent discoveries of new peptides and receptors, discoveries of neuropeptide function, evolutionary patterns of neuropeptide and the receptors, and application of knowledge in pest control.
