Identification of the Insecticidal Effect of Cry Protein on a Variety of Potato Pests by Deshan ZHOU, Doudou YANG, Juan LIU, Weichao LIN, Jie CHENG, Suhua LI

“…In contrast, under the same concentration, there was no significant difference in the biomass of 2nd instar L. decemlineata treated with Cry1B protein compared with the CK, indicating that Cry1B protein had no insecticidal effect on these larvae. Under the treatments with 100 μg/g of Cry1Ac and Cry1B proteins to feed S. frugiperda respectively, the results showed that Cry1Ac protein significantly inhibited the growth of S. frugiperda larvae, while there was no significant difference in larval biomass between the treatments with Cry1B and CK, indicating that Cry1B protein had no insecticidal effect on S. frugiperda. …”

Morphological Comparisons of Adult Worker Bees Developed in Chinese and Italian Honey Bee Combs by Shunhua Yang, Hui Li, Pingqing Wu, Dan Yue, Yulong Guo, Wenzheng Zhao, Kun Dong

“…The results identified six types of cell contents in the combs, excluding empty cells: capped honey (most abundant), followed by capped brood, uncapped honey, and smaller amounts of pollen, larvae, and eggs. Additionally, the average body weights of 6-day-old worker bee larvae, white-eyed pupae, adult worker bees, and honey stomachs containing sucrose solution were significantly higher in the treatment group than in the control group. …”

Strawberries: Main Pests and Beneficials in Florida by Silvia I. Rondon, James F. Price, Daniel J. Cantliffe

“…This is the time growers must begin to scout their fields at least once a week to assess the status of pests, such as spider mites, cyclamen mites, lepidopterous larvae, aphids, thrips, and sap beetles. The ability to recognize these pests, their damage, and their natural enemies is important in determining the best control methods for each situation. …”

ERK activation waves coordinate mechanical cell competition leading to collective elimination via extrusion of bacterially infected cells by Lara Hundsdorfer, Marie Muenkel, Raul Aparicio-Yuste, Julio Cesar Sanchez-Rendon, Maria Jose Gomez-Benito, Aylin Balmes, Tilman E. Schäffer, Ana Velic, Yi-Ting Yeh, Iordania Constantinou, Kathryn Wright, Gizem Özbaykal Güler, Dominik Brokatzky, Boris Maček, Serge Mostowy, Effie E. Bastounis

“…Here, using in vitro (epithelial monolayers) and in vivo (zebrafish larvae) models of infection with L. monocytogenes or Shigella flexneri, we explored the role of extracellular-signal-regulated kinase (ERK) activity waves in coordinating the mechanical battle between infected and surrounder uninfected cells that leads to CICE. …”

Motile cilia modulate neuronal and astroglial activity in the zebrafish larval brain by Percival P. D’Gama, Inyoung Jeong, Andreas Moe Nygård, Ahmed Jamali, Emre Yaksi, Nathalie Jurisch-Yaksi

“…To date, the link between cilia-mediated CSF flow and brain function is poorly understood. Using zebrafish larvae as a model system, we identify that loss of ciliary motility does not alter progenitor proliferation, brain morphology, or spontaneous neural activity despite leading to an enlarged telencephalic ventricle. …”
