Bacillus thuringiensis Vip3Aa Toxin Resistance in Heliothis virescens (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)
2017
ABSTRACT Laboratory selection with Vip3Aa of a field-derived population of Heliothis virescens produced >2,040-fold resistance in 12 generations of selection. The Vip3Aa-selected (Vip-Sel)-resistant population showed little cross-resistance to Cry1Ab and no cross-resistance to Cry1Ac. Resistance was unstable after 15 generations without exposure to the toxin. F 1 reciprocal crosses between Vip3Aa-unselected (Vip-Unsel) and Vip-Sel insects indicated a strong paternal influence on the inheritance of resistance. Resistance ranged from almost completely recessive (mean degree of dominance [ h ] = 0.04 if the resistant parent was female) to incompletely dominant (mean h = 0.53 if the resistan…
Crateri-cinerari figurati in Sicilia:immagini, rito e credenze religiose
2007
La dialettica tra sfera del vino e sfera della morte caratterizza le culture occidentali, greche, anelleniche e grecizzate, e si configura quasi come elemento identificativo di alcuni contesti socio-culturali di frontiera. La netta opposizione tra simposio e ambito funerario, che distingue l’ambiente greco, si trasforma nelle comunità etrusche, italiche e coloniali dinamica associazione ricca di sottesi valori simbolici ed escatologici. La tematica, pur essendo già esplorata, viene ripresa in tale contributo, nel quale si suggeriscono nuovi accorpamenti e letture combinate di documenti, che nel loro insieme, seppure disomogeneo, possono contribuire a spiegare fenomeni di devianze all’intern…
Phytochemical composition, anti-inflammatory and antitumour activities of four Teucrium essential oils from Greece
2009
Abstract The essential oils of four Teucrium species were studied and 150 components, in all, were identified. All oils were rich in sesquiterpenes (50.1–55.8%). Spathulenol and δ-cadinene were the main compounds of Teucrium brevifolium oil; caryophyllene and 4-vinyl guaiacol predominated in Teucrium flavum . Carvacrol and caryophyllene oxide predominated in Teucrium montbretii ssp. heliotropiifolium , while carvacrol and caryophyllene were the most abundant components in Teucrium polium ssp. capitatum . The oil which most effectively inhibited LPS-induced NO production in macrophage cell line RAW 264.7 was that from T. brevifolium (IC 50 = 7.1 μg/ml), followed by T. montbretii ssp. heliot…

Reduced membrane-bound alkaline phosphatase does not affect binding of Vip3Aa in a Heliothis virescens resistant colony
2020
The Vip3Aa insecticidal protein from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) is produced by specific transgenic corn and cotton varieties for efficient control of target lepidopteran pests. The main threat to this technology is the evolution of resistance in targeted insect pests and understanding the mechanistic basis of resistance is crucial to deploy the most appropriate strategies for resistance management. In this work, we tested whether alteration of membrane receptors in the insect midgut might explain the >
Bioactive chromenes from Rhyncholacis penicillata.
1994
Investigation of the aerial parts of Rhyncholacis penicillata afforded the new chromenes, 7-hydroxy-6-(3-methylbutyryl)-5-oxymethyl-chromene (rhynchonin A) and 7-hydroxy-6-(2-methylbutyryl)-6-oxymethylchromene (rhynchonin B). Structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods and independent synthesis. Rhynchonin A showed broad insecticidal, acaricidal and nematicidal potency including strong biological activity against Heliothis zea.
T.S. Eliota krājuma Vecā viltnieka grāmata par praktiskiem kaķiem stilistiskā analīze
2017
Bakalaura darba mērķis ir T. S. Eliota krājuma Vecā viltnieka grāmata par praktiskiem kaķiem stilistiskā analīze. Pētījums īpaši pievērsts dzejoļu interpretācijai un tekstam raksturīgajiem stilistiskas paņēmieniem, lai parādītu kādi no tiem izmantoti visbiežāk un kā tie palīdz krājumā pastiprināt domu. Darba teorētiskā daļa nosaka pētījumu pamatu un pārskata būtiskākos teorijas avotus. Dažādu zinātnieku pētījumi skaidro stilistikas jēdzienu, stilistiskās analīzes sarežģītākos momentus un tipiskas stilistiskās pazīmes, kādas autori izmanto savos literārajos darbos. Lai izpētītu sakarību starp stilistiskajām pazīmēm un kontekstu, kādā tās tiek lietotas, izmantota apjomīga pazīmju analīze. Rez…
Corpus Vasorum Antiquorum, Agrigento, Museo Archeologico Regionale 2
2005
Il volume raccoglie i vasi italioti e sicelioti a figure rosse già appartenuti al Museo Civico di Agrigento e alla Collezione Giudice, ed esemplari provenienti da scavi compiuti dalla Soprintendenza Archeologica tra gli anni ‘50 e gli anni ‘70 del Novecento sia ad Agrigento che nel territorio, in buona parte inediti o solo appena citati in bibliografia. I vasi sicelioti dei due nuclei collezionistici dovevano provenire dalle necropoli greche di Agrigento e Gela; i vasi italioti dovettero invece essere acquistati sul mercato antiquario dell'Italia Meridionale, benchè non sia da escludere anche in taluni di questi casi una provenienza locale-regionale. Di particolare interesse risultano i vas…
Mannose phosphate isomerase isoenzymes in Plutella xylostella support common genetic bases of resistance to Bacillus thuringiensis toxins in Llpidopt…
2001
ABSTRACT A strong correlation between two mannose phosphate isomerase (MPI) isoenzymes and resistance to Cry1A toxins from Bacillus thuringiensis has been found in a Plutella xylostella population. MPI linkage to Cry1A resistance had previously been reported for a Heliothis virescens population. The fact that the two populations share similar biochemical, genetic, and cross-resistance profiles of resistance suggests the occurrence of homologous resistance loci in both species.
