Molecular Characterization and Expression of the Ecdysone Receptor and Ultraspiracle Genes in the Wheat Blossom Midge, <i>Sitodiplosis mosellana</i>

20-hydroxyecdysone (20E) is essential for insect development and diapause. Ecdysone receptor (EcR) and ultraspiracle (USP) proteins are crucial regulators of 20E signaling. To explore their potential roles in the development of <i>Sitodiplosis mosellana</i>, a major wheat pest that under...
