| pepper weevil attraction to volatiles from host and nonhost plants. | the location of wild and cultivated host plants by pepper weevil (anthonomus eugenii cano) may be aided by visual cues, the male-produced aggregation pheromone, herbivore-induced, or constitutive host plant volatiles. the attractiveness of constitutive plant volatiles to pioneer weevils is important in understanding, and perhaps controlling, dispersal of this insect between wild and cultivated hosts. ten-day-old male and 2- and 10-day-old female weevils were tested in short-range y-tube assays. ... | 2009 | 19791617 |
| aubergine gene overexpression in somatic tissues of aubergine(sting) mutants interferes with the rnai pathway of a yellow hairpin dsrna in drosophila melanogaster. | aubergine (aub) is a member of the ppd family of proteins. these proteins are implicated in rna interference. in this article we demonstrate that the expression of the aub gene and protein increase in aub(sting) mutants. we used a genetic method to test whether aub(sting) overexpression could interfere with proper functioning of the process of rna interference in somatic tissues of drosophila melanogaster. this method is based on a transgenic line bearing a construct in which a fragment of the y ... | 2008 | 18385112 |
| cosii genetic maps of two diploid nicotiana species provide a detailed picture of synteny with tomato and insights into chromosome evolution in tetraploid n. tabacum. | using single-copy conserved ortholog set (cosii) and simple sequence repeat (ssr) markers, we have constructed two genetic maps for diploid nicotiana species, n. tomentosiformis and n. acuminata, respectively. n. acuminata is phylogenetically closer to n. sylvestris than to n. tomentosiformis, the latter two of which are thought to contribute the s-genome and t-genome, respectively, to the allotetraploid tobacco (n. tabacum l., 2n = 48). a comparison of the two maps revealed a minimum of seven i ... | 2010 | 19921141 |
| arginine methylation of aubergine mediates tudor binding and germ plasm localization. | piwi proteins such as drosophila aubergine (aub) and mouse miwi are essential for germline development and for primordial germ cell (pgc) specification. they bind pirnas and contain symmetrically dimethylated arginines (sdmas), catalyzed by dprmt5. pgc specification in drosophila requires maternal inheritance of cytoplasmic factors, including aub, dprmt5, and tudor (tud), that are concentrated in the germ plasm at the posterior end of the oocyte. here we show that miwi binds to tdrd6 and aub bin ... | 2010 | 19926723 |
