Hevea brasiliensis seeds: A novel sustainable feedstock for ethanol production

open access: yesVietnam Journal of Chemistry, EarlyView.
Abstract The rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis) is cultivated on a large scale mainly for the extraction of latex in Brazil and Southeast Asia, also generating large quantities of seeds. These seeds currently do not have large‐scale applications and may thus be considered as a residue.

The Multifaceted Role of Rad9 in the DNA Damage Response of Saccharomyces cerevisiae

open access: yesYeast, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT To maintain the integrity of the genome, cells have evolved a complex signalling system, termed the DNA damage response (DDR), which detects DNA damage and promotes DNA repair. To date, over 600 proteins have been identified that play an integral role in the DDR. RAD9, encoding a DDR mediator protein, was the prototypical DNA damage checkpoint

CRISPR/Cas9 Genome Engineering in Non‐Conventional Oleaginous Yeasts: Applications, Challenges, and Prospects

open access: yesYeast, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Given the biotechnological potential of yeast‐derived oils for oleochemical production, genes encoding lipid metabolism enzymes are key targets for metabolic engineering. Genetic engineering tools such as Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR)/Cas9, Transcription Activator‐Like Effector Nucleases (TALENs), Zinc ...

DsiRNA‐mediated silencing of Ceratitis capitata transformer or transformer‐2 leads to masculinization of XX embryos and systemic gene silencing in ovaries

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
We carried out functional studies using Dicer‐substrate small interfering RNAs (DsiRNAs), targeting the sex determination genes Cctransformer (Cctra) and Cctransformer‐2 (Cctra‐2) in the Mediterranean fruit fly (Ceratitis capitata). Microinjection of DsiRNAs into XX embryos (0‐1 h old) rapidly triggered the expression of male‐specific Cctra isoforms ...

Synthetic biology approaches to generate temperature‐sensitive alleles for the Sterile Insect Technique

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) is an environmentally friendly, sustainable pest control approach, which uses large‐scale releases of sterile insects to suppress or eradicate target populations through infertile matings. The efficiency of SIT is enhanced by male‐only releases requiring genetic sexing strains (GSSs) that are classically ...
