of a genetic interaction between Myb and Pc is consistent with Myb’s role in stabilizing H3K27me3‚ the histone mark associated with facultative heterochromatin which is the mark that is bound by Pc. We also observed a complete lack of GFP negative larvae in the Ash1 crosses‚ indicating a particularly strong genetic interaction between Myb and either of two Ash1 alleles. This may be due to Myb’s vital role in activation of transcription for hundreds of target

foulbrood are two widespread contagious bacterial diseases that attack bee larvae. A protozoan parasite‚ Nosema‚ and a virus cause dysentery and paralysis in adult bees. Two species of blood-sucking parasitic mites are particularly troublesome for beekeepers and are currently affecting wild honey bees worldwide. The honey bee tracheal mite lives in the breathing tubes of adult bees; the varroa mite lives on the outside of larvae and adults. These mites have killed tens of thousands of honey bee colonies

Introduction: The Trichoptera‚ or caddisflies‚ are an ecologically diverse order of insects. The adults resemble small moths and are terrestrial‚ while their larvae are aquatic and spin silk (Bongard 2004). It is due to their diverse designs in the secretion of silk threads that they are able to expand their ecological niches. The silk threads of the larvae are used to create shelters‚ nets‚ and cases- adopting an evolutionary system to exploit a wide range of resources (Vaughn 1985). There are about 10‚000

Abstract: Using genes that control development makes it possible to identify mutants that alter development. Anterior –Posterior axis formation is controlled by protein gradients in the early embryo development. Bicoid and nanos mRNAs are both maternally provided and are localized to opposite poles of the embryo (Springfield‚ 2016). Bicoid proteins are concentrated at the anterior end and nanos proteins concentration is highest at the posterior end of the embryo (Springfield‚ 2016). The combination

1. If there was no ECB infestation in a certain year‚ would a farmer gain or lose financially by planting Bt corn? Explain why. He might lose a little bit‚ but since there is no way to know if there will be an ECB infestation at planting time‚ he might still be better off to use Bt corn. There is almost always a residual number of corn borer and other insects left in the soil‚ even after treating a field‚ so the chances are too high that he might need to spray insecticides to keep the damage

(Burdett‚ 2010)The purpose of the experiment is to observe how substrate A or substrate B will impact the growth of the larvae. Oat bran is the outer husk of the oat grain. It contains the bulk of the dietary fiber of the grain‚ along with a large amount of useful materials.

drop off where they spend most of their time. Bedding‚ floor crevices‚ carpeting‚ along baseboards and areas near their favorite sleeping and napping sites are especially likely places where eggs will be found. These eggs hatch into larvae‚ which are baby fleas. The larvae spin a cocoon and‚ depending on environmental conditions‚ emerge as adults in as few as five days. The adult fleas then mate after a blood meal and then lay eggs. The life cycle is then repeated--until control measures break the cycle
