据报道,科学家已经发现使用基因技术抑制果蝇性欲的方法,他们希望这一研究成果可以帮助人们采用环保的方式进行害虫防治。据悉,这个国际研究小组由美国堪萨斯州立大学(Kansas State University)的Yoonseong Park教授带领,包括来自美国、斯洛伐克和韩国的研究人员。在研究果蝇和红色面粉甲虫的基因组时,Park和他的同事们发现了一种特殊的神经肽,他们将它称为“natalisin”。“natalisin”是一个拉丁词,意为“birth(出生)”。
It is reported that scientists have found that using genetic techniques to inhibit fruit fly sex, they hope this research can help people adopt environmentally friendly pest control. It is reported that this international research team led by Professor Yoonseong Park of Kansas State University in the United States, including researchers from the United States, Slovakia and South Korea. When studying the genomes of fruit flies and red flour beetles, Park and his colleagues discovered a special neuropeptide that they call “natalisin.” “natalisin ” is a Latin word meaning “birth.”
