Not all GMOs are crop plants: non-plant GMO applications in agriculture
Since tools of modern biotechnology have become available, the most commonly applied and often discussed genetically modified organisms are genetically modified crop plants, although genetic engineering is als...

A DsRed fluorescent protein marker under polyubiquitin promoter regulation allows visual and amplified gene detection of transgenic Caribbean fruit flies in field traps
Field population surveillance of a targeted insect pest species is critical in evaluating management programs such as the sterile insect technique. Fluorescent powder dyes currently used to distinguish release...

Germ-line transformation of the Queensland fruit fly, Bactrocera tryoni, using a piggyBac vector in the presence of endogenous piggyBac elements
We report the heritable germ-line transformation of the Queensland fruit fly, Bactrocera tryoni, using a piggyBac vector marked with either the fluorescent protein DsRed or EGFP. A transformation frequency of 5–1...

Development of an Embryonic Lethality System in Mediterranean Fruit Fly Ceratitis capitata
The Mediterranean fruit fly Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) is one of the world’s most destructive insect pests, costing farmers billions of dollars annually. Improved biological strategies are needed to increase ...

Improving the Ecological Safety of Transgenic Insects for Field Release: New Vectors for Stability and Genomic Targeting
Genetically transformed insect pests provide significant opportunities to create strains to improve the sterile insect technique (SIT) and new strategies based on conditional lethality. A major concern for pro...

A Genetic Approach to the Study of Juvenile Hormone Control of Vitellogenesis in Drosophila melanogaster
Juvenile hormone (JH) is a key agent in the regulation of insect development, and thus it must effect proper gene management during ontogeny. How this occurs is as yet a mystery, but JH can alter chromosome fu...
