A comparative study revealed hyperspectral imaging as a potential standardized tool for the analysis of cuticle tanning over insect development
Cereal-feeding beetles are a major risk for cereal crop maintenance. Cereal weevils such as Sitophilus oryzae have symbiotic intracellular bacteria that provide essential aromatic amino acid to the host for the biosynthesis of their cuticle building blocks. Their cuticle is an important protective b...
