GENETIC ENGINEERING OF COTTON WITH A NOVEL CRY2AX1 GENE TO IMPART INSECT RESISTANCE AGAINST HELICOVERPA ARMIGERA

Genetic engineering of cotton with a novel cry2AX1 gene to impart insect resistance against Helicoverpa armigera

Embryogenic calli of cotton (Coker310) were cocultivated with the Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain LBA4404 harbouring the codon-optimised, chimeric cry2AX1 gene consisting of sequences from cry2Aa and cry2Ac genes isolated from Indian strains of Bacillus thuringiensis.Forty-eight putative transgenic RYE FLAKES ORG plants were regenerated, and PCR a

Biochemical and Transcriptomic Analysis Reveals Low Temperature-Driven Oxidative Stress in Pupal Apis mellifera Neural System

Exposure to low temperatures during honeybee development has been shown Coin Displays to impede brain development and affect cognitive function in adult bees.On the other hand, neuronal damage due to oxidative stress has been reported in many cases.Hence, biochemical parameters related to oxidative stress in honeybee pupae brain were determined.The
