DIFFERENTIAL GENE EXPRESSION IN RED IMPORTED FIRE ANT (SOLENOPSIS INVICTA) (HYMENOPTERA: FORMICIDAE) LARVAL AND PUPAL STAGES

Differential Gene Expression in Red Imported Fire Ant (Solenopsis invicta) (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) Larval and Pupal Stages

Solenopsis invicta Buren is an invasive ant species that has been introduced to multiple continents.One such area, the southern United States, has a history of multiple control projects using chemical pesticides over varying ranges, often resulting in non-target effects across trophic levels.With the advent of next generation sequencing and RNAi te

Mapping the architecture of the initiating phosphoglycosyl transferase from S. enterica O-antigen biosynthesis in a liponanoparticle

Bacterial cell surface glycoconjugates are critical for cell survival and for interactions between bacteria and their hosts.Consequently, the pathways responsible for their biosynthesis have untapped potential as therapeutic targets.The localization of many glycoconjugate biosynthesis enzymes to the membrane represents a significant challenge for e
