Regulatory Mechanisms, Protein Expression and Biological Activity of Photolyase Gene from Spodoptera littoralis Granulovirus Genome.

One of the most important factor that affects the efficient using of baculoviruses as a biopesticide is their sensitivity to UV irradiation. In this study, a photolyase gene (phr) of 1.4 kbp DNA fragment was cloned and characterized from Spodoptera littoralis granulovirus, an Egyptian isolate (SpliGV-EG1).

Characterization, cloning, expression and bioassay of gene isolated from an Egyptian against whiteflies.

Throughout the vegetative life of , vegetative insecticidal proteins (Vip) are produced and secreted. In the present study, the vip3 gene isolated from Bacillus thuringiensis, an Egyptian isolate, was successfully amplified (2.4 kbp) and expressed using bacterial expression system.

Expression of 1B capsid protein of Foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) using baculovirus expression system and its validation in detecting SAT 2- specific antisera.

Foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) is one of the most devastating animal viruses that affect livestock worldwide. The 1B capsid of FMDV has been widely used to detect and confirm the infection. In the present study, the sequence coding for 1B subunit of FMDV capsid was expressed in insect cells using the baculovirus expression system under the polyhedrin () promoter.

Effect of growth hormones on some antioxidant parameters and gene expression in tomato.

Bioregulators have a great effect on vital processes of plant growth and development. Known plant bioregulators include Naphthalene acetic acid (NAA), Indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) and Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA). Natural or synthetic plant bioregulators are organic compounds that affect the physiological processes in the plant, either to control some of these processes or to modify them.
