Molecular systematics and colour variation of Carpophilus species (Coleoptera: Nitidulidae) of the South Pacific
(Lincoln University, 2009)
The sap beetle genus Carpophilus Stephens (Coleoptera: Nitidulidae) is a large genus consisting of over 200 species and are found worldwide. Several species are important pests of crops and stored products, and are frequently ...
Protoplast isolation from shoots of asparagus cultures
(The University of Chicago Press, 1997-09)
Experiments to maximize the isolation and purification of viable protoplasts from shoot cultures of asparagus (Asparagus officinalis L.) were conducted. Important factors for high yield of viable protoplasts included: the ...
Culture and regeneration of protoplasts from shoots of asparagus cultures
(The University of Chicago Press, 1997-09)
A reliable culture and regeneration protocol has been established for asparagus (Asparagus officinalis L.) protoplasts isolated from shoots of in vitro plants. Studies focused on factors to maximize plating efficiency, ...
Host-parasite coevolution in New Zealand: how has Odontacarus, a mite with a free-living stage in its life-cycle, coevolved with its skink host?
(Lincoln University, 2006)
The effect of a free-living stage in
host-parasite coevolution:
a skink mite phylogenetic study in New Zealand.
During the last decade, phylogenetic trees have even been used to compare ecologically
related taxa such as ...
Radio- and satellite-tracking Westland Petrels Procellaria westlandica
(African Seabird Group, 1997)
Two foraging trips of one female and one male Westland Petrel Procellaria westlandica partially tracked by radio telemetry, and six foraging trips by three male Westland Petrels tracked by satellite telemetry are
reported. ...
Birds observed at Scott Island, Ross Sea, Antarctica
(African Seabird Group, 1996)
Scott Island is a basaltic volcanic plug
about 500 m long and 150–300 m wide about 550 km northeast of Cape Adare, the closest point on the Antarctic Continent. This article reports on birds observed there during visits ...
Mitochondrial COI and II provide useful markers for Wiseana (Lepidoptera: Hepialidae) species identification
(Cambridge University Press, 1999-04)
A method for identifying the members of the endemic genus Wiseana Viette from New Zealand is described. Seven species have been described in the genus: W. cervinata (Walker), W. copularis (Meyrick), W. fuliginea (Butler), ...
Development of an isolate-specific marker for tracking Phaeomoniella chlamydospora infection in grapevines
(Mycological Society of America, 2005)
Petri disease causes decline of grapevines worldwide. The grapevine endophyte Phaeomoniella chlamydospora is the most important fungal pathogen associated with this disease. Epidemiological studies of this pathogen have ...
Co-expression of two genes, a chitinase (chit42) and proteinase (prb1), implicated in mycoparasitism by Trichoderma hamatum
(Mycological Society of America, 2004)
Mycoparasitism of fungal plant pathogens by Trichoderma species is a complex process that involves the production and coordinated secretion of cell-wall degrading enzymes. Genes implicated in mycoparasitism by Trichoderma ...
Identification of novel genes associated with conidiation in Beauveria bassiana with suppression subtractive hybridization
(Mycological Society of America, 2008)
The conidiation of the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana (Hyphomycete) is a complex process that involves the stage- and cell-type-specific expression of hundreds of genes. The suppression subtractive hybridization ...
