Sentence examples for lethality system from inspiring English sources

Here, we report the development of the first transgenic embryonic lethality system for medfly using an early embryonic lethal transgene combination.

This resulted in variable efficiencies of the lethality system.

Laboratory tests for efficiency, competition, and reversibility of the lethality system were performed in 15 × 15 × 20 cm acrylic cages.

In this study we describe the first transgenic embryonic lethality system for the insect pest C. capitata that causes complete reproductive sterility without the need of radiation.

The described embryonic lethality system has the advantage of eliminating the radiation process, a possible release of insects at any life-cycle stage, and an expected fitness benefit of transgenic males over radiated males.

The first successful transfer of the Drosophila proof-of-principle embryonic lethality system to an agricultural pest, the medfly C. capitata, represents a straightforward approach that can be applied to further pest insects.

Other transgenic lethality systems without the need of radiation, such as RIDL [ 18], reduce the eclosion rate of flies, but as larvae are still produced, larval damage to targeted food would still be present and transgenes would be transferred into the wild population due to pupal survival.

In the apoptosome, caspase 9 is activated and cleaved and will activate additional molecules of caspase 9 as well as down-stream caspases such as caspase 3. Due to its lethality the system is subject to a number of controls as an example the cytoplasm contains a class of proteins known as Inhibitors of Apoptosis IAPS that bind and inactivate caspases.

Strikingly, subtle modifications to Region D, including replacement of the chlorine with a fluorine (16), replacement of the para-chloro substituent with a meta-chloro (17) or elimination of it altogether (18) reduced or abrogated both lethality and system xc− inhibitory activity.

However, effectors containing the p basal promoter could not promote complete lethality, whereas systems with effectors containing hs43, which gave no functional transgenes in D. melanogaster [ 6], caused complete lethality in medfly at different stages of development.

Biological warfare agents differ greatly in the type of organism or toxin used in a weapons system, lethality, length of incubation, infectiousness, stability, and ability to be treated with current vaccines and medicines.
