1. 1. Pheromone-based mating disruption to control Spodoptera frugiperda in Tanzania: Possibilites and Constraints for smallholders

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biosystems and Technology (from 130101)

   Author : Thomas O'Malley; [2024]
   Keywords : pheromone; mating disruption; fall armyworm; Tanzania; smallholder; Spodeptera frugiperda; integrated pest; management;

   Abstract : Despite a growing interest in the use of pheromones as a more sustainable form of pest control, their use remains unstudied in the smallholder context. This paper is one of the first to study their use by small scale Tanzanian maize farmers to control the invasive pest Spodoptera frugiperda (known as fall armyworm). READ MORE

3. 2. Unearthing the social-ecological cascades of the fall armyworm invasion: A computer-assisted text analysis of digital news articles

   University essay from Stockholms universitet/Stockholm Resilience Centre

   Author : Kathryn Bjorklund; [2023]
   Keywords : emerging pests and pathogens; social-ecological cascades; fall armyworm; Spodoptera frugiperda; structural topic modeling;

   Abstract : Understanding the complex nature of social-ecological cascades, or chain reactions of events that lead to widespread change in a system, is crucial for navigating the challenges they present. Emerging pests and pathogens, such as the fall armyworm, provide an opportunity to study these cascades in greater detail. READ MORE

4. 3. Design, expression and purification of virus-like particles derived from metagenomic studies : Virus-like Particles (VLP) of novel Partitiviridae species, Hubei.PLV 11, and novel Soutern pygmy squid flavilike virus were designed, expressed using the bac-to-bac expression system and then pruified using various methods

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

   Author : Diyar Ayranci; [2021]
   Keywords : Virus; virus-like particles; VLP. Western Blot; SDS-PAGE; Chromatography; partitivrus; partitiviridae; flaviviridae; flavivirus; Hubei partitilike virus; Southern Pygmy Squid flavilike virus; protein purification; protein characterization; PCR; Cloning; metagenomic; strucutral biology; cryo-em; bac-to-bac expression system; vaccines; arbovirus; arthropod-borne virus;

   Abstract : Viruses are entities which are made of a few genes and are reliant on obligate parasitism to propagate. Due to the obligate connection to their hosts, virus evolution is constrained to the type of host. Viruses however do transmit to evolutionary distinct hosts; in these cases, the phylogenetic relationship of the hosts usually are close. READ MORE

5. 4. Cloning, Expression and Purification of a Mutant Tomato Thymidine Kinase 1 for Crystallography

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Tillämpad biokemi

   Author : Mohamad Nesrini; [2015]
   Keywords : protein expression; protein engineering; Azidothymidine; thymidine kinase; deoxyribonucleoside kinases; nucleosides; nucleoside analog; suicide gene therapy; tillämpad biokemi; applied biochemistry; BEVS.; Technology and Engineering; Chemistry;

   Abstract : Thymidine kinase 1 from tomato (ToTK1) is a newly discovered deoxyribonucleoside kinase (dNK) that has been subject to study due to its in vitro and in vivo properties making it an interesting suicide gene candidate for the treatment of brain tumors. The ToTK1 phosphorylates the nucleoside analogue 3-azido-2,3-dideoxythymidine (azidothymidine, AZT) equally well as its natural substrate thymidine (dThd). READ MORE
