NIMBB Study Maps the Mitochondrial Genome of the Eggplant Fruit and Shoot Borer
In a study published in Insects by MDPI, NIMBB researchers, Mr. Joshua Despabiladeras and Dr. Ma. Anita Bautista sequenced and analyzed the complete mitogenome of L. orbonalis. The main objective was to create a reference assembly of this pest’s mitochondrial genome and use that information to determine where it fits in the evolutionary tree of crambid moths, a group that includes many agricultural pests.
NIMBB extends training to Tertiary-Level Faculty and Industry Professionals in Basic Molecular Biology Techniques Workshop
