Cryptochrome a possible link between time and space orientation in insects.
Original language description
Precise timing of life processes under rhythmical daily and annual changes of environmental conditions is of vital importance in the life of insects. Photosensitive molecule of Cryptochrome (Cry) was proved to be an important part of feedback loops generating (Cry2) or entraining (Cry1) circadian oscillations in a number of insect species. However, Cryptochrome is likely to be involved even in a different task in the insect life. It may help the animals to perceive the position of geomagnetic North anduse this information for their orientation in space. Among others evidences, Cry deficient Drosophila lost its ability to recognize the presence of magnetic field. The aim of the present work was to analyze the impact of Cry gene silencing on magnetoreception of American cockroach Periplaneta americana. We found only Cry 1 for Periplaneta and prepared corresponding ds RNA.
