Genetically Engineered, Embryo-specific Lethality for Insect Pest Management
Many insects compete with us humans for agricultural resources, feed on us, or act as disease vectors. Current control efforts rely mostly on the use of insecticides. The use of chemicals to either repel or kill insect pests is the oldest and most commonly used method of pest control. However, with the massive use of insecticides four major problems have arisen. First, many pests have developed...
متن کاملGenetically Engineered Mosquitoes for Pathogen Control
Mosquito-borne diseases have been documented as a chronic scourge of human health since written histories have existed, and yet even the best current technologies are unable to eliminate recurring endemic transmission, such as malaria, or occasional surprising epidemics, including Zika. In response, researchers are continually searching for novel solutions to these old problems. The effective, ...
متن کاملMalaria control with genetically manipulated insect vectors.
At a recent workshop, experts discussed the benefits, risks, and research priorities associated with using genetically manipulated insects in the control of vector-borne diseases.
متن کاملGenetically Engineered Mesenchymal Stem Cells Stably Expressing Green Fluorescent Protein
Objective(s) Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are nonhematopoietic stromal cells that are capable of differentiating into and contribute to the regeneration of mesenchymal tissues. Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) are ideal targets in cell transplantation and tissue engineering. Enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) has been an important reporter gene for gene therapy. The aim of this stu...
متن کاملGenetically engineered bananas resistant to Xanthomonas wilt disease and nematodes
Banana is an important staple food crop feeding more than 100 million Africans, but is subject to severe productivity constraints due to a range of pests and diseases. Banana Xanthomonas wilt caused by Xanthomonas campestris pv. musacearum is capable of entirely destroying a plantation while nematodes can cause losses up to 50% and increase susceptibility to other pests and diseases. Developmen...
