ODORANT BINDING PROTEIN 18 INCREASES THE PATHOGEN RESISTANCE OF THE IMPORTED WILLOW LEAF BEETLE, PLAGIODERA VERSICOLORA

Odorant binding protein 18 increases the pathogen resistance of the imported willow leaf beetle, Plagiodera versicolora

BackgroundInsect odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) are a class of small molecular weight soluble proteins.In the past few years, OBPs had been found to work as carriers of ligands and play a crucial role in olfaction and various other physiological processes, like immunity.A subset of insect OBPs had been found to be expressed differently and play a

Rational structural design of Nile barges

This paper has demonstrated the design Hunting Shorts aspects for inland water units working in the River Nile.The acting loads and stresses induced within the structural elements of Nile barges are still water bending moment and stresses, local hydrostatic pressure and local stresses.The objective of this work is to rationalize the design procedur
