AbstractGenetic biocontrol technologies present promising and eco-friendly strategies for the management of pest and insect-transmitted diseases. Although considerable advancements achieve in gene drive applications targeting mosquitoes, endeavors to combat agricultural pests have been somewhat restricted. Here, we identify that the testis-specific serine/threonine kinases (TSSKs) family is uniquely expressed in the testes of Cydia pomonella, a prominent global invasive species.

The polarization and orbital angular momentum (OAM) degrees of freedom carried by light have important applications in precision optical measurement and optical sensing. Here we show that the electro-optic Pockels effect of a magnesium-doped lithium niobate (MgO:LiNbO3) crystal can be used to measure a low-frequency electric field.
