Jan 6, 2022 · A novel strategy for Colorado potato beetle resistance involves 99 modified potatoes using RNAi technology that expresses dsRNA in chloroplasts targeting the beetle β-actin gene. 99 Chloroplasts lack RNA silencing machinery and cannot break down dsRNA, causing its accumulation. When the insect feeds on the leaves, the dsRNA is released from ...
Genetic modification prevents potatoes from bruising and browning and reduces asparagine, which enhances food safety. (Image Credit: GMO Answers) The potato is the most frequently consumed vegetable in the United States, which raises the question – are there GMO potatoes?
Jul 16, 2023 · July 16, 2023 · 2 min read. 44. A genetically modified fruit fly could mean the (near) end of insect-related crop loss for berry farmers. Researchers at North Carolina State University have...
Nov 11, 2015 · Go to: Abstract. Fruit flies of the genus Drosophila have been an attractive and effective genetic model organism since Thomas Hunt Morgan and colleagues made seminal discoveries with them a century ago.
Jun 14, 2023 · The researchers, using a concept called “gene drive,” manipulated the insects' DNA so that the female offspring would be sterile, and the method they used to achieve it significantly reduced the...
Jul 17, 2021 · Abstract. Breeding has been used successfully for many years in the fruit industry, giving rise to most of today’s commercial fruit cultivars. More recently, new molecular breeding techniques have addressed some of the constraints of conventional breeding.
