Indiscriminate use of pesticides and fertilizers causes environmental pollution, emergence of
agricultural pests and pathogens, and loss of biodiversity. Nanotechnology, by virtue of …

A little over 50 years ago, Sydney Brenner had the foresight to develop the nematode (round
worm) Caenorhabditis elegans as a genetic model for understanding questions of …

Experimental introduction of RNA into cells can be used in certain biological systems to
interfere with the function of an endogenous gene,. Such effects have been proposed to …

In a diverse group of organisms that includes Caenorhabditis elegans, Drosophila, planaria,
hydra, trypanosomes, fungi and plants, the introduction of double-stranded RNAs inhibits …

Genetic interference mediated by double-stranded RNA (RNAi) has been a valuable tool in
the analysis of gene function in Caenorhabditis elegans. Here we report an efficient …

In Caenorhabditis elegans, introduction of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) results in the
specific inactivation of an endogenous gene with corresponding sequence; this technique is …

We identify a cytochrome P450 gene (CYP6AE14) from cotton bollworm (Helicoverpa
armigera), which permits this herbivore to tolerate otherwise inhibitory concentrations of the …

Despite its apparent simplicity, the nematode worm Caenorhabditis elegans has developed
into an important model for biomedical research, particularly in the functional …

Data mining techniques have gained acceptance as a viable means of finding useful
information in data. While the techniques can be applied to any kind of data, a brief survey of …

The insect pests are big threat in meeting the food demands for future generation. The
present pest control strategies, including the existing transgenic approaches show certain …
