Researchers at the University of California San Diego have laid the groundwork for a potential new type of gene therapy using novel CRISPR-based techniques.
Working in fruit flies and human cells, research led by UC San Diego Postdoctoral Scholar Zhiqian Li in Division of Biological Sciences Professor Ethan Bier s laboratory demonstrates that new DNA repair mechanisms could be designed to address the effects of debilitating diseases and damaged cell conditions.
Agragene Announces Expanded Sentinel™ Program With Peerbolt Crop Management To Help Farmers Monitor & Control Devastating Fruit Fly
Spotted wing drosophila flies have caused $700M+ in US fruit damage and populations are on the upswing
San Diego, CA (PRWEB) - Agragene, Inc., a biotechnology company focused on suppressing invasive crop pests using biological insect control technology, announced today that it has expanded its SentinelTM program to help growers monitor spotted wing drosophila (SWD) populations year-round by trapping in natural border habitats surrounding agricultural fields.
Agragene is assisting growers in observing where SWD take refuge, feed and breed while tracking how their relative populations shift over time. Agragene has hired Peerbolt Crop Management (PCM) to provide this service to all interested growers. The Agragene Regional SWD Report is published in the Smart Fruit Update newsletter provided by the Northwest Berry Foundation on a weekly or bi-weekly ba
