Differentially expressed genes in the midguts of BmNPV-susceptible and resistant silkworm strains determined using suppression subtractive hybridization

Barstool Bombyx mori nuclear polyhedrosis virus (BmNPV) has caused great economic losses to sericulture and considerable effort has been made to identify disease resistance genes in B.mori.We constructed differential expression gene libraries of the resistant near-isogenic line (NIL) BC10 and susceptible strain 306 using the suppression subtractive

Porphyromonas gingivalis-Helicobacter pylori co-incubation enhances Porphyromonas gingivalis virulence and increases migration of infected human oral keratinocytes

Background Porphyromonas gingivalis is part of the subgingival biofilm and a keystone species in the development of periodontitis.Interactions between P.gingivalis and other bacteria in biofilms have been shown to affect bacterial virulence.Helicobacter pylori also inhabits the subgingival biofilm, but the consequences of interactions there with P.

Upper wind observing systems used for meteorological operations

Methods of upper wind measurements used in operational meteorology have been reviewed to provide 7-Piece Dining Set guidance to those developing wind profiler radar systems.The main limitations of the various methods of tracking weather balloons are identified using results from the WMO radiosonde comparisons and additional tests in the United King
