Exploiting venom toxins in paratransgenesis to prevent mosquito-borne disease by Stephanie French, Rachael Da Silva, Janet Storm, Christida E. Wastika, India Cullen, Martijn ten Have, Grant L. Hughes, Cassandra M. Modahl

“…Mosquito symbionts, including fungi, bacteria and viruses, have desirable traits for mosquito disease control including spreading horizontally and vertically through mosquito populations and potentially colonising multiple important vector species. Paratransgenesis, genetic modification of mosquito symbionts with effectors to target the pathogen rather than the vector, is a promising strategy to prevent the spread of mosquito-borne diseases. …”

Investigating a role for PUB17 and PUB16 in the self‐incompatibility signaling pathway in transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana by Paula K. S. Beronilla, Daphne R. Goring

“…However, this trait can be reintroduced into A. thaliana by adding back functional copies of these genes from closely related SI species. Both SCR and SRK are required for this, though the degree of SI pollen rejection varies between A. thaliana accessions, and ARC1 is not always needed to produce a strong SI response. …”
