IMPACT OF ANTIBIOTICS ON EFFICACY OF CRY TOXINS PRODUCED IN TWO DIFFERENT GENETICALLY MODIFIED BT MAIZE VARIETIES IN TWO LEPIDOPTERAN HERBIVORE SPECIES, OSTRINIA NUBILALIS AND SPODOPTERA LITTORALIS

Impact of Antibiotics on Efficacy of Cry Toxins Produced in Two Different Genetically Modified Bt Maize Varieties in Two Lepidopteran Herbivore Species, Ostrinia nubilalis and Spodoptera littoralis

The insecticidal crystal proteins from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) are widely-used biopesticides that are used both as Bt spore-crystal preparations in sprayable formulations and as activated toxins in genetically modified (GM) plants.Models for their modes of action have been proposed but many issues remain unresolved.Among those is the role of co

Heart morphology and function evaluation by transthoracic echocardiography in six captive crested gibbons (Nomascus spp.)

Cardiovascular diseases are one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in captive apes.Transthoracic echocardiography is the most comprehensive sww x cardiovascular imaging technique used to diagnose and monitor cardiopathies in mammals.However, there are currently no baseline data of heart morphology and function in hylobatid primates.Co
