Loss of mitochondrial single stranded DNA-binding protein (mtSSB) gene is associated with mitochondrial genome fragmentation in Psocodea (bark lice, book lice, and parasitic lice)

BMC Biology
Background Organelle genome fragmentation is a drastic large-scale chromosomal mutation. Why and how organelle genomes become fragmented is still poorly understood.

Lizards: Poisonous animals or biological pest control agents? [PDF]

International Archives of Health Sciences
The lack of accurate understanding of the environment and its surrounding fauna has led to the spread of misconceptions about the behaviors of certain animals, such as lizards. This is evident even in articles that lack scientific rigor.

Increasing landscape heterogeneity as a win–win solution to manage trade-offs in biological control of crop and woodland pests

Scientific Reports, 2023
Agriculture and forestry cover more than 75% of Europe, and invertebrate pests are a costly challenge for these two economic sectors. Landscape management is increasingly promoted as a solution to enhance biological pest control, but little is known on ...

Biological Control of Agricultural Pests

The American Biology Teacher, 1955
The use of natural enemies to suppress agoricultural pests is called biological control. Its practical value was first demonstrated in California in 1889 in a very spectacular fashion. The citrus industry was then threatened with ruin from the ravages of the destructive cottony cushion scale. This insect was killing the trees and forcing the growers to

Enhanced Intracellular Stability and Translation Efficiency of mRNA Drugs by a 2‐arm mRNA Platform

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We constructed a 2‐arm mRNA, characterized by a unique topology formed through the dimerization of two mRNA 3’ tails. The 2‐arm mRNA improves 3’ tail stability and resistance to nuclease degradation, resulting in an intracellular half‐life of up to 65 h. This method substantially enhances the translation capacity of mRNA drugs.

Susceptibility of Tsetse Species to Glossina pallidipes Salivary Gland Hypertrophy Virus (GpSGHV)

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Salivary gland hytrosaviruses (SGHVs, family Hytrosaviridae) are non-occluded dsDNA viruses that are pathogenic to some dipterans. SGHVs primarily replicate in salivary glands (SG), thereby inducing overt salivary gland hypertrophy (SGH) symptoms in ...

Integrating biological control and host plant resistance [PDF]

, 2015
For farmers in low external input agricultural systems in developing countries, host plant resistance (HPR) and biological control (BC) are potentially effectivemethods of insect pest control.

Influence of Intrapredatory Interferences on Impulsive Biological Control Efficiency [PDF]

, 2010
International audienceIn this paper, a model is proposed for the biological control of a pest by its natural predator. The model incorporates a qualitative description of intrapredatory interference whereby predator density decreases the per capita ...

Cotton Recruits Soil‐Derived Delftia tsuruhatensis to Suppress Aphid Detoxification Via Salicylic Acid‐Mediated Defense

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study systematically reveals a complex interactive network involving plants, microbes, and insects, elucidating the ecological and molecular mechanisms by which cotton enhances its resistance to aphids through the active recruitment of the beneficial soil bacterium Delftia tsuruhatensis.
