Journal ArticleDOI
RNA interference in the light brown apple moth, Epiphyas postvittana (Walker) induced by double-stranded RNA feeding.
C. T. Turner,Marcus Davy,Robin M. MacDiarmid,Kim M. Plummer,Nigel P. Birch,Richard D. Newcomb +5 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated in the horticultural pest, Epiphyas postvittana, that RNAi can be triggered by oral delivery of dsRNA to larvae, and Transcript levels of a larval gut carboxylesterase gene were reduced to less than half that of controls within 2 days of being fed EposCXE1 ds RNA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of expressed sequence tags from Actinidia: Applications of a cross species EST database for gene discovery in the areas of flavor, health, color and ripening

TL;DR: In this article, a collection of 132,577 expressed sequence tags (ESTs) were derived mainly from four Actinidia species (A. chinensis, A. arguta and A. eriantha) and fell into 41,858 non redundant clusters (18,070 tentative consensus sequences and 23,788 EST singletons).
Journal ArticleDOI
Calcium-Dependent Protein Kinases in Plants: Evolution, Expression and Function
TL;DR: These findings reveal that CPK sequence diversification into four major groups occurred in parallel with the terrestrial transition of plants, and demonstrates the functional diversification of CPKs based on expression and functional studies in different plant species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Methods for the extraction, storage, amplification and sequencing of DNA from environmental samples
Gavin Lear,Ian A. Dickie,Jonathan C. Banks,Stephane Boyer,Hannah L. Buckley,Thomas R. Buckley,Rob Cruickshank,Andrew Dopheide,Kim M. Handley,Syrie M. Hermans,Janine Kamke,Charles Kai-Wu Lee,Robin M. MacDiarmid,Sergio E. Morales,David A. Orlovich,Rob D. Smissen,Jamie R. Wood,Robert J. Holdaway +17 more
TL;DR: A standardised set of procedures for use on different taxa and sample media is proposed, largely based on recent trends in their use, and represents a framework for efficient, comprehensive and robust DNA-based investigations of biodiversity, applicable to mostTaxa and ecosystems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterisation of microRNAs from apple ( Malus domestica 'Royal Gala') vascular tissue and phloem sap
Erika Varkonyi-Gasic,Nick Gould,Manoharie Sandanayaka,Paul W. Sutherland,Robin M. MacDiarmid +4 more
TL;DR: This study validated tissue-specific expression of apple miRNAs that target genes responsible for plant growth, development, and stress response and identified potential targets that encode putative proteins shown to be targets of corresponding mi RNAs in a number of plant species.
