Genetic Manipulation for Improvement of Microbial Biocontrol Agents
1999During the last few years genetic modification of microorganisms to improve their biological control of plant pathogens has created some very interesting results, which indicates that molecular biology can be used not only to understand the mechanism behind biological control, but also to improve biocontrol ability.

Genetic Improvement of Entomopathogenic Nematodes for Insect Biocontrol
2002Entomopathogenic nematodes (families Heterorhabditidae and Steinernematidae) are the most important biological-control agents for soil-dwelling insect pests (Gaugler and Kaya, 1990). Several species of Heterorhabditids and Steinernematids are produced commercially and used as biotic insecticides.

Molecular Genetics of the Biocontrol Agents Trichoderma spp
1991ABSTRACT We have developed conditions for an efficient method of genetic transformation for the biocontrol agents Trichoderma spp, using polyethylene glycol (PEG) and CaCl 2 or high-voltage electroporation. Transformation was obtained with the plasmid pAN7–1 carrying a bacterial hygromycin resistance gene as a selectable marker under the control ...

Genetic Improvement of Biocontrol Agents for Sustainable Pest Management
2014Genetic improvement involves directed purposeful genetic alterations to enhance the efficacy of natural enemies for biological control. This may be achieved by conventional approaches as well as through recombinant DNA techniques. The conventional methods include strain selection, serial passage through hosts, mutation, conjugation, transduction ...

U.S. regulatory framework for genetic biocontrol of invasive fish
Biological Invasions, 2012This paper provides an overview of the U.S. regulatory framework governing genetic biocontrol efforts for invasive fish. Genetic biocontrol refers to the intentional release of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) into the environment to control a target population of a non-native species.

Prospects for Using Genetic Transformation for Improved SIT and New Biocontrol Methods
Genetica, 2002The genetic manipulation of non-drosophilid insect species is possible by the creation of recombinant DNA constructs that can be integrated into host genomes by several transposon-based vector systems. This technology will allow the development and testing of a variety of systems that can improve existing biological control methods, and the development
