Masculinizer gene controls male sex determination in the codling moth, Cydia pomonella
Insect Biochem Mol Biol. 2023 Aug 1;160:103991. doi: 10.1016/j.ibmb.2023.103991. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe molecular mechanisms of sex determination in moths and butterflies (Lepidoptera) with female heterogamety (WZ/ZZ) are poorly understood, except in the silkworm Bombyx mori. However, the Masculinizer (Masc) gene that controls male development and dosage compensation in B. mori, appears to be conserved in Lepidoptera, as its masculinizing function was recently confirmed in several moth species. In this work, we investigated the role of the Masc gene in sex determination of the codling moth Cydia pomonella (Tortr...

Efficient and effective immobilization of tetracycline and copper from waste water by zero-valent iron fabricated hydrochar derived from walnut peel
Bioresour Technol. 2023 Jul 25:129557. doi: 10.1016/j.biortech.2023.129557. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAntibiotics and heavy metals often co-exist as non-point-source contaminants in wastewater and their quite contrary physiochemical properties make their co-removal processes challenging. In this work, a bifunctional zero-valent iron-modified hydrochar derived from walnut peel (MWPHC) was synthesized, which was then applied for the simultaneous removal of tetracycline (TC) and Cu(II) from wastewater. Based on the characterizations, Fe0 species were successfully distributed on the surface of the walnut peel substrates. T...

Evaluation of DNA extraction methods for the detection of Shiga toxin producing Escherichia coli in food by polymerase chain reaction
In this study, three DNA extraction protocols using commercial kits (Instagene Matrix with Beckman Coulter Ampure XP Beads; Qiagen Gentra Puregene Yeast/Bact. Kit; Qiagen DNeasy Blood & Tissue) were assessed as alternative DNA extraction methods for the detection of the Shiga toxin gene by PCR in enrichments from sixteen different foods inoculated with STEC O157. The inoculated foods were bean sprouts, blackberries, blue cheese, cilantro, cocoa powder, coleslaw, cream of mushroom dried soup mix, cream of vegetable dried soup mix, flaxseed, guacamole, peanut butter, soft cheese, soy butter, spinach, walnut, and wheat fl...

Molecules, Vol. 28, Pages 5434: Development and Characterization of Pickering Emulsion Stabilized by Walnut Protein Isolate Nanoparticles
This study was conducted to prepare walnut protein isolate nanoparticles (nano-WalPI) by pH-cycling, combined with the ultrasound method, to investigate the impact of various nano-WalPI concentrations (0.5~2.5%) and oil volume fractions (20~70%) on the stability of Pickering emulsion, and to improve the comprehensive utilization of walnut residue. The nano-WalPI was uniform in size (average size of 108 nm) with good emulsification properties (emulsifying activity index and stability index of 32.79 m2/g and 1423.94 min, respectively), and it could form a stable O/W-type Pickering emulsion. When the nano-WalPI concentration ...
