A CRISPR-Cas9-Derived Male Sterility System for Tomato Breeding
Agronomy, 2023 Male sterility can reduce cost and enable high seed purity during hybrid seed production. However, the commercial application of male sterility in hybrid seed production has not been widely used in tomatoes.

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.

Characterisation and utilization of three distinct male sterile systems in marigold (Tagetes erecta)
The Indian Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2016 Three distinct male sterile systems were identified in marigold (Tagetus erecta L.) and classified as apetaloid, petaloid and gynomonoecious types based on their floral morphology.

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 ...

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 ...

Efficacy of Wolbachia-mediated sterility to suppress dengue: a synthetic control study [PDF]
, 2023 In a study conducted in Singapore, a country prone to dengue outbreaks due to its climate and urban population, researchers examined the effectiveness of releasing male Aedes aegypti mosquitoes infected with Wolbachia (wAlbB strain) to reduce dengue transmission.

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 ...

Acta Agriculturae Scandinavica. Section B, Soil and Plant Science, 2019 An effective male sterility system enables targeted crosses between parent plants with desired and complementary characteristics. The use of chemical hybridising agents (CHAs) to induce male sterility is quicker and more efficient than manual ...
