A somatic transformation gene vector that exploits the genomic integration properties of Junonia coenia lepidopteran densovirus (JcDNV) sequences in vivo has been developed. JcDNV somatic transformation vectors are derivatives of plasmids containing an interrupted genome of JcDNV that provide efficient, robust vectors that can be used to examine regulation of chromosomally integrated transgenes...

Abstract Opportune and accurate identification of Date pests during storage, is prerequisite for reducing pest damages having a good export. The present study aimed to define new sampling method three main storage Oryzaephilus surinamensis (Linnaeus), Ephestia kuehniella (Zeller) Plodia interpunctella (Hübner) in date Deiri Cultivar, by Spectrophotometer. experiments were conducted completely r...

Bkm sequences, originally isolated from snake satellite DNA, are a component of eukaryote genomes with a preferential location on sex chromosomes. In the Ephestia genome, owing to the presence of only a few Bkm-positive BamHI restriction fragments and to extensive restriction fragment length polymorphisms between and within inbred strains, a genetic crossbreeding analysis was feasible. No sex l...
