The present invention relates to the field of RNA-mediated gene silencing in insect species. The present invention is based, in part, on the inventors' sequencing of genes frominvasive species Bronze bug pest,. In certain aspects, the invention provides Bronze bug nucleic acids, derivatives thereof and the use of such nucleic acids and derivatives as Bronze bug control agents.

Bronze bug control agents

The present invention relates to the field of RNA-mediated gene silencing in insect species. The present invention is based, in part, on the inventors' sequencing of genes frominvasive species gall wasp pests(Li) and(Om). In certain aspects, the invention provides Li and Om nucleic acids, derivatives thereof and the use of such nucleic acids and derivatives as gall wasp control agents.

Gall wasp control agents

Isolated polypeptides are disclosed comprising an amino acid sequence encoding a monomer of a fibrous polypeptide attached to a heterologous polysaccharide binding domain. Composites comprising same, methods of generating same and uses thereof are all disclosed.

Compositions comprising fibrous polypeptides and polysaccharides

A method of promoting wound healing, treating fibrosis and/or promoting angiogenesis is provided. The method comprises administering to a subject in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of a procollagen, thereby promoting wound healing, treating fibrosis and/or promoting angiogenesis in the subject.

Methods of generating and using procollagen

The invention provides a method of producing a recombinant polypeptide having &#x3b2;-glucosidase enzymatic activity, a polynucleotide encoding the polypeptide, nucleic acid constructs carrying the polynucleotide, transformed cells, such as yeast cells, and transgenic organisms expressing the polynucleotide. The invention provides various uses of the polypeptide, the polynucleotide, cells and/or organisms, including producing a recombinant polypeptide having &#x3b2;-glucosidase enzymatic activity, increasing the level of aromatic compounds in alcoholic beverages, as well as other fermentation products of plant material, hydrolyzing cellobiose and thus increasing the level of fermentable glucose, increasing the production of alcohol; such as ethanol from plant material, increasing the aroma released from a plant, or a plant, product, and hydrolysis or transglycosylation of glycosides.
