Areza-Ubaldo, Maria Buena B., Rillo, Erlinda P., Cueto, Cristeta A.. Philippine Journal of Science, 2005, 132(1):1-11 The improved basal medium for coconut embryo culture was verified for the mass propagation of Makapuno seedlings. Results confirmed earlier findings that coconut zygotic embryos develop satisfactorily in the improved embryo culture medium. This medium consists of Eeuwens (Y3) (1976) and various additives. The entire cycle to produce one embryo cultured makapuno seedling costs P265.45 (as of Feb 2002) compared with the original PCA-Albay Research Center protocol (ARC) (P301.84). This improved embryo culture technology is now adapted to mass produce Makapuno seedlings nationwide.

  • Final Screening Assessment of Bacillus Thuringiensis Strain ATCC 13367
    Final Screening Assessment of Bacillus thuringiensis strain ATCC 13367 Environment and Climate Change Canada Health Canada March 2018 Synopsis Pursuant to paragraph 74(b) of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA), the Minister of the Environment and the Minister of Health have conducted a screening assessment of Bacillus thuringiensis strain ATCC1 13367 (B. thuringiensis strain ATCC 13367). B. thuringiensis strain ATCC 13367 is a facultative anaerobic Gram-positive bacterium. As a species, Bacillus thuringiensis (B. thuringiensis) is generally considered ubiquitous and commonly found in terrestrial and aquatic habitats. B. thuringiensis is able to form spores which can withstand harsh environmental conditions and survive under conditions of nutrient depletion. Various characteristics of B. thuringiensis make it suitable for use as an active ingredient in commercial and consumer products, including degreasers, detergents, and additives in bioremediation and biodegradation and in various industrial processes. B. thuringiensis is known particularly for the production of crystal proteins (Cry toxins) which are toxic for various Orders of insects (mainly lepidopterans, dipterans and coleopterans). In particular, B. thuringiensis strain ATCC 13367 is known to produce a Cry 1B (Cry1Ba) toxin, which is known to be selectively toxic towards insect species of the Order Lepidoptera, and towards a few species of the Orders Diptera and Coleoptera. Despite the ubiquity and abundant use of various B. thuringiensis subspecies, , there are no known adverse population– level effects on target species in the ecosystems where it is used, and no adverse effects on non-target terrestrial or aquatic plants, vertebrates or invertebrates B. thuringiensis is not considered a human pathogen and to date no mammalian pathogenicity and toxicity study has demonstrated that commercial spore preparations of any B.

  • Coral Sea CMR 2016, a Bush Blitz Survey Report
    Coral Sea Commonwealth Marine Reserve 13–24 June 2016 Bush Blitz Species Discovery Program CSCMR 13–24 June 2016 What is Bush Blitz? Bush Blitz is a multi-million dollar partnership between the Australian Government, BHP Billiton Sustainable Communities and Earthwatch Australia to document plants and animals in selected conservation areas across Australia. This innovative partnership harnesses the expertise of many of Australia’s top scientists from museums, herbaria, universities, and other institutions and organisations across the country. Abbreviations ABRS Australian Biological Resources Study ANIC Australian National Insect Collection ATH Australian Tropical Herbarium AVH Australia’s Virtual Herbarium CSCMR Coral Sea Commonwealth Marine Reserve EPBC Act Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (Commonwealth) IUCN International Union for Conservation of Nature QM Queensland Museum UNSW University of New South Wales WAM Western Australian Museum Page 2 of 32 CSCMR 13–24 June 2016 Summary The Coral Sea Bush Blitz took place between 13 and 24 June 2016. Four islands of the Coral Sea Commonwealth Marine Reserve (CSCMR) were surveyed: East Diamond Islet, South West Coringa Islet, North East Herald Cay and South West Herald Cay, including the surrounding coral reefs. This Bush Blitz was undertaken in partnership with the Commonwealth Marine Reserves Branch of Parks Australia as part of the Great Coral Sea Clean-up and Bio-Discovery Voyage. The partnership aimed to develop a better understanding of marine debris, flora and fauna, and quarantine issues in the CSCMR. In the survey, 175 taxa were collected. The reserve’s flora and fauna has an inherently low biodiversity largely comprising widespread species that have broad Indo-Pacific or pan-tropical distribution patterns.

When newly laid, the egg has a slightly greenish tint. At maturity it turns reddish (Busck, 1917). Larvae: The larvae (Fig. 1) are initially white with a dark head. The full grown larvae are Figure 2. P. gossypiella adult.

Pupae: The pupa is 8 to 10 mm (0.31 to 0.39 in.) long, rather plump, reddish brown; posterior end pointed and terminating in a short, stout, upwardly turned hooklike cremaster; entire surface finely pubescent; no long setae, spines or hooks, except on last joint. When mature, the pupa becomes much darker; the imago's eyes can be seen prominently under the gena of the pupal skin, and the segmentation of the adult antennae and legs becomes discernible (Busck, 1917). 1 Adults: Moths (Fig.

In order to understand the ecological factors involved in the search and discovery of concealed hosts by S. agrili, we investigated the behavioral responses of adult female wasps to potential semiochemicals from host plants, hosts, and host frass as well as to vibration signals from host feeding and movement. Using a bioassay, we showed that S. agrili first finds the host’s habitats by detecting the volatile compounds emitted by ash. In the second phase of host location and acceptance, the parasitoids detect the mechanical vibrations produced by host feeding and movement under the surface of the bark and then probe to find the EAB larvae. Contact chemicals seem to play little or no role in short-range host finding. Female wasps avoided laying eggs on EAB larvae already parasitized and thus paralyzed.

  • Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology Helicoverpa Armigera Cadherin Fragment Enhances Cry1ac Insecticidal Activity by Facilitating Toxin-Oligomer Formation
    Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology Helicoverpa armigera cadherin fragment enhances Cry1Ac insecticidal activity by facilitating toxin-oligomer formation Donghai Peng1, Xiaohui Xu1, Weixing Ye1, Ziniu Yu1 and Ming Sun1 [email protected] State Key Laboratory of Agricultural Microbiology, College of Life Science and Technology, Huazhong Agricultural University, Wuhan, 430070, People’s Republic of China The interaction between Bacillus thuringiensis insecticidal crystal protein Cry1A and cadherin receptors in lepidopteran insects induces toxin oligomerization, which is essential for membrane insertion and mediates Cry1A toxicity. It has been reported that Manduca sexta cadherin fragment CR12-MPED and Anopheles gambiae cadherin fragment CR11-MPED enhance the insecticidal activity of Cry1Ab and Cry4Ba to certain lepidopteran and dipteran larvae species, respectively. This study reports that a Helicoverpa armigera cadherin fragment (HaCad1) containing its toxin binding region, expressed in Escherichia coli, enhanced Cry1Ac activity against H. armigera larvae. A binding assay showed that HaCad1 was able to bind to Cry1Ac in vitro and that this event did not block toxin binding to the brush border membrane microvilli prepared from H. armigera. When the residues 1423GVLSLNFQ1430 were deleted from the fragment, the subsequent mutation peptide lost its ability to bind Cry1Ac and the toxicity enhancement was also significantly reduced. Oligomerization tests showed that HaCad1 facilitates the formation of a 250-kDa oligomer of Cry1Ac-activated toxin in the midgut fluid environment. Oligomer formation was dependent upon the toxin binding to HaCad1, which was also necessary for the HaCad1-mediated enhancement effect. Our discovery reveals a novel strategy to enhance insecticidal activity or to overcome the resistance of insects to B.
