Project description:The objective of this project was to investigate the impacts of oil exposure in combination with environmental stressors on gene expression in developing C. variegatus.
Project description:The objective of this project was to expose larval Cyprinodon variegatus to oil/hypoxia stressors for 48 hrs, then allow 48 hours of recovery and depuration.
Project description:The adhesion of flavescence dorée phytoplasma to the midgut epithelium cells of their insect vectors is partially mediated by the Variable Membrane Protein A (VmpA), an adhesin which shows lectin properties. In order to identify the insect receptor for VmpA, we lokked for Euscelidius variegatus cells proteins interacting with recombinant VmpA-His6 by mass spectrometry analysis of VmpA-E. variegatus protein complexes formed upon in vitro interaction assays.
