IDENTIFICATION OF CHEMOSENSORY GENES FROM THE ANTENNAL TRANSCRIPTOME OF INDIAN MEAL MOTH PLODIA INTERPUNCTELLA.

Identification of chemosensory genes from the antennal transcriptome of Indian meal moth Plodia interpunctella.

Olfaction plays an indispensable role in mediating insect behavior, such as locating host plants, mating partners, Sieve and avoidance of toxins and predators.Olfactory-related proteins are required for olfactory perception of insects.However, very few olfactory-related genes have been reported in Plodia interpunctella up to now.In the present stud

The Effect of Novolac and Graphite Polycrystal on the Acetone Penetration and Thermal Resistance of Nanocomposites Based on Nitrile Rubber

Developments of high diffusive environments in coincidence with emerging fluids with strong ability to destroy polymeric systems have resulted in rapid deformation and destruction of polymeric parts when in contact with such aggressive environments.Therefore, nowadays, there is a great need to develop highly resistant materials towards aggressive c

Synthesis of benzotriazole-intercalated dispersions of molybdenum, tungsten and vanadium oxides for tribochemical applications

The effect of dispersed particles of lamellar molybdenum, tungsten and vanadium oxides on the lubrication properties of mineral oil was investigated.It is shown that in the presence of particles of hexagonal molybdenum Liquid Foundation oxide the coefficient of friction falls two-fold (from 0.08 to 0.04) exhibiting further decrease under high mecha
