Plastic pollution is a pressing global issue, with polyethylene (PE) the most widespread and persistent contaminant. Galleria mellonella (G. mellonella) has been identified as one of the most suitable insect species for the efficient consumption and degradation of PE; However, the gut microbiota and...
Time course of the transcriptome of desiccation-sensitive 2.7-2.9 mm-long radicles of Medicago truncatula seeds at different time points during incubation in a polyethylene glycol (PEG) solution at -1.7 MPa and 10°C, resulting in a gradual re-establishment of desiccation tolerance. Gene profiling wa...
Polyethylene pollutions are considered inert in nature and adversely affect the entire ecosystem. Larvae of greater wax moths (Galleria mellonella) have the ability to masticate and potentially biodegrade polyethylene films at elevated rates. The wax moth has been thought to metabolize PE independen...
