Double-stranded RNA-mediated interference (RNAi) is a simple and rapid method of silencing
gene expression in a range of organisms. The silencing of a gene is a consequence of …

Insecticidal crystal proteins of Bacillus thuringiensis bind to receptors in the midgut of susceptible
insects leading to pore formation and death of the insect. The identity of the receptor is …

Background Mosquitoes are intermediate hosts for numerous disease causing organisms.
Vector control is one of the most investigated strategy for the suppression of mosquito-borne …

We present two simple but elegant solutions for the flow of an Oldroyd-B fluid. First, we consider
the flow past an infinite porous plate and find that the problem admits an asymptotically …

The tobacco cutworm, Spodoptera litura, is among the most widespread and destructive
agricultural pests, feeding on over 100 crops throughout tropical and subtropical Asia. By …

Problem solving and decision making by humans is often done in environments where
information concerning the problem is partial or approximate. AI researchers have been …

RNA interference (RNAi) is an important antiviral defense response in plants and invertebrates;
however, evidences for its contribution to mammalian antiviral defense are few. In the …

A highly efficient somatic embryo production and maturation procedure has been developed
to regenerate plantlets from cotton (Gossypium hirsutum). This procedure involves the …

A protocol is presented for efficient transformation and regeneration of cotton. Embryogenic
calli co-cultivated with Agrobacterium carrying cry1Ia5 gene were cultured under …

Aminopeptidase-N (APN) and cadherin proteins located at the midgut epithelium of
Helicoverpa armigera have been implicated as receptors for the Cry1A subfamily of insecticidal …
