Increasing yield is a primary goal of mass insect rearing for food and feed, and diet impacts insect life-history traits that affect yield, such as survival, development time and body size.However, experiments rarely test the STRAW nutritional requirements of insects from hatch to adulthood, and so little is known about how the full developmental m
Regulation of polarised cell growth is essential for many cellular processes including spatial coordination of cell morphology changes during the division cycle.We present a mathematical model of the organization core mechanism responsible for the regulation of polarised growth dynamics during the fission yeast cell cycle.The model is based on the
Bacillus thuringiensis subsp.kurstaki (Btk) is a strong pathogen toward lepidopteran larvae thanks to specific Cry toxins causing leaky gut phenotypes.Hence, Btk and its toxins are used worldwide as microbial insecticide and in genetically modified crops, respectively, to fight crop pests.However, Btk belongs to the B.cereus group, some strains of
