Summary

A novel tetracycline-suppressible system induces reproductive sterility in the fruit fly pest Anastrepha suspensa. This system targets embryos, offering a new strategy for pest control by creating highly lethal transgenic strains.

In-vitro Mutagenesis

To learn more about the function of a gene, researchers can observe what happens when the gene is inactivated or “knocked out,” by creating genetically engineered knockout animals. Knockout mice have been particularly useful as models for human diseases such as cancer, Parkinson’s disease, and diabetes.
