CHARACTERIZING THE MECHANISM OF ACTION OF DOUBLE-STRANDED RNA ACTIVITY AGAINST WESTERN CORN ROOTWORM (DIABROTICA VIRGIFERA VIRGIFERA LECONTE).

Characterizing the mechanism of action of double-stranded RNA activity against western corn rootworm (Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte).

RNA interference (RNAi) has previously been shown to be effective in western corn rootworm (WCR, Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte) larvae via oral delivery of synthetic double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) in an artificial diet bioassay, as well as by ingestion of transgenic corn plant tissues engineered to express dsRNA.Although the RNAi machinery co

Micro-RNA-Regulated SQUAMOSA-PROMOTER BINDING PROTEIN-LIKE (SPL) Gene Expression and Cytokinin Accumulation Distinguish Early-Developing Male and Female Inflorescences in Oil Palm (Elaeis guineensis)

Sexual differentiation LUTEIN of inflorescences and flowers is important for reproduction and affects crop plant productivity.We report here on a molecular study of the process of sexual differentiation in the immature inflorescence of oil palm (Elaeis guineensis).This species is monoecious and exhibits gender diphasy, producing male and female inf

A review of radio frequency identification technology for the anatomic pathology or biorepository laboratory: Much promise, some progress, and more work needed

Patient safety initiatives throughout the anatomic laboratory and in biorepository laboratories have mandated increasing emphasis on the need for accurately identifying and tracking biospecimen assets throughout their production lifecycle and for archiving/retrieval purposes.However, increasing production volume along with complex workflow characte
