Potential of the Sterile Insect Technique for Control of Deer Ticks, $\textit{Ixodes scapularis}$ [PDF]
, 2021 The deer tick, $\textit{Ixodes scapularis}$, is a vector for numerous human diseases, including Lyme disease, anaplasmosis, and babesiosis. Concern is rising in the US and abroad as the population and range of this species grow and new diseases emerge. Herein I consider the potential for control of $\textit{I.

Cytoplasmic genetic diversity of potato varieties bred in Russia and FSU countries
Вавиловский журнал генетики и селекции, 2019 Male sterility in potato is little studied since traditional breeding is based on the vegetative reproduction of highly heterozygous tetraploid varieties.

A review of rice male sterility types and their sterility mechanisms
Heliyon, 2023 Male sterility plays an important role in the utilization of heterosis in rice. The establishment of male sterile lines in rice is one of the key technologies in hybrid rice production systems. The currently widely used male sterile line breeding systems

About contamination by sterile females and residual male fertility on the effectiveness of the sterile insect technique. Impact on disease vector control and disease control [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 The sterile insect technique (SIT) is a technique to control pests and vectors of diseases by releasing mainly sterile males. Several challenges need to be solved before large-scale field application in order to guarantee its success. In this paper we intend to focus on two important issues: residual (sterile) male fertility and contamination by ...

Combined Trojan Y Chromosome Strategy and Sterile Insect Technique to Eliminate Mosquitoes: Modelling and Analysis [PDF]
, 2021 Sterile insect technique has been successfully applied in the control of agricultural pests, however, it has a limited ability to control mosquitoes. A promising alternative approach is Trojan Y Chromosome strategy, which works by manipulating the sex ratio of a population through the introduction of feminized Y Y supermales that guarantee male ...

A cryptic cytoplasmic male sterility unveils a possible gynodioecious past for Arabidopsis thaliana. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Gynodioecy, the coexistence of hermaphrodites and females (i.e. male-sterile plants) in natural plant populations, most often results from polymorphism at genetic loci involved in a particular interaction between the nuclear and cytoplasmic genetic ...

A Single Nucleotide Polymorphism Unique to the Galanthum-CMS of Onion
HortScience, 2023 Different sources of cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) are used to produce hybrid onion seed. The most commonly used source of CMS in onion is S cytoplasm (S-CMS), and male fertility is restored by a dominant allele at the nuclear male-fertility ...

Some cytological and ultrastructural aspects of male sterility in Impatiens
Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2014 Some cytological and ultrastructural aspects of tapetum and sporogenic cells, in both male-fertile and male-sterile Impatiens, were investigated and compared in order to find the cause of cytoplasmic male sterility.

A control strategy for Sterile Insect Techniques using exponentially decreasing releases to avoid the hair-trigger effect [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 In this paper, we introduce a control strategy for applying the Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) to eliminate the population of Aedes mosquitoes which are the vectors of various deadly diseases like dengue, zika, chikungunya... in a wide area. We use a system of reaction-diffusion equations to model the mosquito population and study the effect of ...
