Scalability of genetic biocontrols for eradicating invasive alien mammals
NeoBiota, 2022 CRISPR-based gene drives offer novel solutions for controlling invasive alien species, which could ultimately extend eradication efforts to continental scales. Gene drives for suppressing invasive alien vertebrates are now under development. Using a landscape-scale individual-based model, we present the first estimates of times to eradication for long ...

Creation of Recombinant Biocontrol Agents by Genetic Programming of Yeast
Acta Naturae, 2023 Bacterial infections caused by antibiotic-resistant pathogens pose an extremely serious and elusive problem in healthcare. The discovery and targeted creation of new antibiotics are today among the most important public health issues. Antibiotics based on antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are of particular interest due to their genetically encoded nature ...

Plant pathogens as biocontrol agents of Cirsium arvense : an overestimated approach? [PDF]
, 2011 Cirsium arvense is one of the worst weeds in agriculture. As herbicides are not very effective and not accepted by organic farming and special habitats, possible biocontrol agents have been investigated since many decades.

Impact of ecophysiological factors on biocontrol of aflatoxin contamination of maize by atoxigenic aspergillus flavus strains [PDF]
, 2013 This study has (a) evaluated the biodiversity in toxigenic mycobiota associated with maize from subsistence farmers’ stores in five climatic regions of Lesotho in two seasons, (b) compared the effect of ecophysiological factors on interactions between ...

Climate warming can reduce biocontrol efficacy and promote plant invasion due to both genetic and transient metabolomic changes. [PDF]
, 2022 Climate change may affect plant-herbivore interactions and their associated ecosystem functions. In an experimental evolution approach, we subjected replicated populations of the invasive Ambrosia artemisiifolia to a combination of simulated warming and ...
