Scientists grow insect sex pheromones in transgenic camelina plant for sustainable pest control

Scientists grow insect sex pheromones in transgenic camelina plant for sustainable pest control The camelina plant, a source of cooking oil for centuries, is on its way toward revolutionizing pest control in agriculture. Scientists at ISCA, Inc., a green agtech company based in Riverside, Calif., and their collaborators in Sweden have successfully grown insect sex pheromone precursors in genetically modified strains of camelina plants, creating a low-cost source of pheromones needed for sustainable pest control. The Swedish research team from the Lund University, Swedish Agricultural University, and SemioPlant, modified the genetic code of these plants to contain genes of insects and other organisms that guide the formation of the desired pheromones. The plants produce insect pheromone precursor compounds in their abundant seed oil.

Interdisciplinary collaboration provides new answers about immunity after Covid-19

The COMMUNITY cohort comprises 2,149 employees at Danderyd Hospital Photograph: Danderyd Hospital Only weeks after the coronavirus reached Sweden, blood samples were taken from more than 2,000 employees at Danderyd Hospital. Today, a selection of the country’s leading researchers collaborate with this unique material within the COMMUNITY study to extract new knowledge needed to fight covid-19. How long are we protected by antibodies after a covid-19 infection? And what will immunity look like over time? In a current collaboration, leading research environments at three Swedish universities and Danderyd Hospital seek answers to some of the most crucial questions surrounding the ongoing pandemic.

Here s why why some people may become seriously ill from meningococcal bacteria

Here s why why some people may become seriously ill from meningococcal bacteria ANI | Updated: Dec 20, 2020 23:23 IST Stockholm [Sweden], December 20 (ANI): In a breakthrough study, a team of scientists have come one step closer toward understanding why some people become seriously ill or die from a common bacterium that leaves most people unharmed. In a study published in The Lancet Microbe, the researchers linked RNA mutations within the bacterium Neisseria meningitides to invasive meningococcal disease, marking the first time a non-coding RNA in a bacterium has been linked to disease progression. The researchers have also designed and validated a PCR test that can detect these mutations.
