Allatostatin CCC
Capability peptide ↓/↑**
CCHamide n.e.
CNMamide
Corazonine n.e.

Prepared based on the Li et al. (2020), Terhzaz et al. (2015), and Terhzaz et al. (2018). *The effect was observable during recovery time after cold stress in D. melanogaster and no effect was observed in B. tabaci during cold stress. **Li et al. (2020) showed decrease in capa level in B. tabaci after 4 h of cold stress, whereas Terhzaz et al. (2015) a significant increase in D. melanogaster after 6 and 24 h of cold stress, the arrows represent an increase (↑) and a decrease (↓) in gene expression. n.e., no effect observed.
