Establishment of the Genetic Transformation System of Trichoderma longibrachiatum 40418 and Its Induced Resistance Against Meloidogyne incognita in Tomato [PDF]

Journal of Fungi
Trichoderma longibrachiatum is a filamentous fungus that functions as a biocontrol agent against multiple plant diseases. However, the lack of a genetic transformation system has hindered studies on gene function and the underlying biocontrol mechanisms ...

Genetically engineered insects with sex-selection and genetic incompatibility enable population suppression

eLife, 2022
Engineered Genetic Incompatibility (EGI) is a method to create species-like barriers to sexual reproduction. It has applications in pest control that mimic Sterile Insect Technique when only EGI males are released.

Benefits and risks of gene drives for invasive plant management - the case for common tansy

Frontiers in Agronomy, 2023
Invasive plants cause significant environmental and economic damage, but land managers have few control options. Common tansy (Tanacetum vulgare) is prevalent in many US states and is one of the most reported invasive plants in Minnesota.

Physical Factors Affecting the Scale-Up of Vegetative Insecticidal Protein (Vip3A) Production by Bacillus thuringiensis Bt294

Fermentation, 2023
Vip3A (vegetative insecticidal protein) is a representative member of the Vip3 family, which is widely used for lepidopteran pest control. This Vip3A protein, a non-growth-associated protein, is an effective bioinsecticide against insect pests, but there
