Journal ArticleDOI

RNA interference in Lepidoptera: An overview of successful and unsuccessful studies and implications for experimental design

Olle Terenius, +78 more
TL;DR: Despite a large variation in the data, trends that are found are that RNAi is particularly successful in the family Saturniidae and in genes involved in immunity and that gene expression in epidermal tissues seems to be most difficult to silence.
Journal ArticleDOI

New Insights into Peritrophic Matrix Synthesis, Architecture, and Function

TL;DR: This review has integrated recent structural and functional information to create a holistic model for the peritrophic matrix, and shows how this information may generate novel technologies for use in insect pest management.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular characterization of Brassica napus NAC domain transcriptional activators induced in response to biotic and abiotic stress.

TL;DR: Subtractive expressed sequence tag analysis and screening of cDNA libraries derived from Brassica napus leaves subjected to mechanical wounding, flea beetle feeding or cold temperatures revealed eight genes encoding NAC-domain transcription factors that were found to be differentially regulated in response to biotic and abiotic stresses.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sclerotinia sclerotiorum: When “to be or not to be” a pathogen?

TL;DR: How the interplay between glucose levels, cAMP and ambient pH serves to coordinate the transition between these phases and dictate the biochemical and developmental events that define them is outlined.
Journal ArticleDOI

pORE: a modular binary vector series suited for both monocot and dicot plant transformation.

TL;DR: A series of 14 binary vectors suitable for Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of dicotyledonous plants and adaptable for biolistic transformation of monocotylerpine plants is presented, minimizing all non-essential elements from the vector backbone and T-DNA regions while maintaining the ability to replicate independently.
