Fruit Fly Study Digs Deeper Into Poorly Understood Details Of Forming Embryos - QualityPoint Technologies

qualitypointtech.net — “Using fruit flies as a model to study embryo formation, scientists report in Nature Cell Biology that molecular breakdown of a protein called Bicoid is vital to normal head-to-tail patterning of the insect's offspring. Published online recently by the journal, the study shows how Bicoid is targeted for molecular degradation by a newly identified protein the researchers named Fates-shifted (Fsd). Without the interaction between Bicoid and Fsd, fruit fly embryos are improperly formed and misshapedView full resource at qualitypointtech.net

Scientists identify nature's insect repellents

labspaces.net — “In the battle between insect predators and their prey, chemical signals called kairomones serve as an early-warning system. Pervasively emitted by the predators, the compounds are detected by their prey, and can even trigger adaptations, such a change in body size or armor, that help protect the prey.View full resource at labspaces.net
