Biocontrol Potential of the New Codling Moth Granulovirus (CpGV) Strains.

The use of CpGV strains as the basis for bioinsecticides is an effective and safe way to control . The research is aimed at the identification and study of new CpGV strains. Objects of identification and bioinformatic analysis: 18 CpGV strains.

New granulovirus strain with high entomopathogenic activity.

We report a genome of CpGV from the bioresource collection of the Federal Research Center of Biological Plant Protection "State Collection of Entomoacariphages and Microorganisms." Its sequence is 123,862 bp. The genome under study demonstrates a degree of similarity of more than 99% with reference NC_002816 from the NCBI RefSeq database.

Assembly and Genome Annotation of Different Strains of Apple Fruit Moth Virus ( granulovirus).

granulovirus is a natural pathogen for that is used as a biocontrol agent of insect populations. The study of granulovirus virulence is of particular interest since the development of resistance in natural populations of has been observed during the long-term use of the Mexican isolate CpGV. In our study, we present the genomes of 18 CpGV strains endemic to southern Russia and from Kazakhstan, as well as a strain included in the commercial preparation "Madex Twin", which were sequenced and analyzed.

The finding and researching algorithm for potentially oscillating enzymatic systems.

Many processes in living organisms are subject to periodic oscillations at different hierarchical levels of their organization: from molecular-genetic to population and ecological. Oscillatory processes are responsible for cell cycles in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes, for circadian rhythms, for synchronous coupling of respiration with cardiac contractions, etc. Fluctuations in the numbers of organisms in natural populations can be caused by the populations' own properties, their age structure, and ecological relationships with other species.
