1. ClFAS improves oocyte maturation and ovarian development in C. lividipennis.

   “RNA interference (RNAi)-mediated depletion of ClFAS not only suppressed the Vg protein expression but also significantly impaired oocyte maturation and ovarian development.”

1. ClFAS increases ClVg expression in C. lividipennis (Knockdown reduced expression by 58.4%, 34.6%, and 49.0% at 1, 2, and 3 days, respectively).

   “Silencing of ClFAS resulted in a reduction of 58.4%, 34.6%, and 49.0% in the expression levels of ClVg at 1-, 2-, and 3-days post-dsRNA injection, respectively.”
