Somatic cell selection in plants allows the recovery of spontaneous mutants from cell cultures. When coupled with the regeneration of plants it allows an effective approach for the recovery of novel traits in plants. This study undertook somatic cell selection in the potato (Solanum tuberosum L.)

In the present study, we sequenced the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Agrius convolvuli (Lepidoptera: Sphingidae) and compared it with previously sequenced mitogenomes of lepidopteran species. The mitogenome was a circular molecule, 15 349 base pairs (bp) long, containing 37 genes.

The genus Potyvirus is the largest and one of the most economically important virus genera infecting plants. However, current diagnostic techniques are limited in their ability to identify multiple potyvirus infections. An assay that can identify multiple potyviruses simultaneously, with good

The development of effective purification protocols has permitted evaluation of the resistance of isolated scrapie prions to inactivation by UV irradiation at 254 nm. Prions were irradiated on ice with doses of UV light ranging up to 120,000 J/m2. UV dosimetry experiments, performed with

Carboxylesterase-like enzyme cDNAs have been cloned and sequenced from malathion-resistant and susceptible strains of the parasitoid Anisopteromalus calandrae (Howard) (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae). The cDNAs consist of 1963 nucleotides including a 35 bp untranslated 5'-end, a 1596 bp open reading

DNA methylation is involved in many different biological processes in the development and well-being of crop plants such as transposon activation, heterosis, environment-dependent transcriptome plasticity, aging, and many diseases. Whole-genome bisulfite sequencing is an excellent technology for

Early blight, caused by Alternaria solani, is an economically important foliar disease of potato in several production areas of the United States. Few potato cultivars possess resistance to early blight; therefore, the application of fungicides is the primary means of achieving disease control.
