This is the 4th edition of a book that was initiated with the annotation of the function of all the genes in the most commonly studied baculovirus, AcMNPV. It has been almost six years since I reviewed this literature. As a measure of the research that has occurred over this...
Lepidopteran nucleopolyhedroviruses are members of the Baculoviridae and have been categorized as having two morphotypes of occluded virions: multiple nucleocapsids or single nucleocapsids within the virion envelope. Although it is a definitive characteristic of specific viruses, it appears to lack a defined genetic basis and is independent of virus phylogeny....
The genome sequence of a baculovirus from Hemileuca sp. was determined. The genome is 140,633 kb, has a G+C content of 38.1%, and encodes 137 putative open reading frames over 50 amino acids. 126 of these ORFs showed similarity to other baculovirus genes in the database including all 37 core...
This is the third edition of a book that was initiated with the annotation of the function of all the genes in the most commonly studied baculovirus, AcMNPV. The second and third editions involved the update of this information and its integration into chapters covering the major processes central to...
This book is based on a project to completely annotate what is known about the function of the ~150 genes encoded by the genome of the most commonly investigated baculovirus, AcMNPV. Once the annotation was completed (summarized in Chapter 12), the material was organized into a series of chapters integrating...

The Baculoviridae comprise a diverse group of occluded DNA viruses that contain large double-stranded DNA genomes of 80 - 180 kb and may encode up to 180 gene products. To understand how baculoviruses replicate and process their genomes and the gene products that are involved in these events, a series...
Relay strip-cropping combines two vegetation management tactics, under-sowing
and strip-management. In this study conducted from 1994 though 1997, a
cover crop seed-mixture containing oats (Avena sativa L. var. "Monida"), common
vetch (Vicia sativa L.), red clover (Trifolium pratense L.), annual ryegrass (Lolium
multflorum Lam.), and buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench) was...
The yeast two-hybrid system was used to examine
interactions between the nine proteins involved in baculovirus DNA
replication. From the six proteins required for DNA replication,
four protein-protein interactions were identified, including an
interaction between LEF-1 and LEF-2, LEF-3 and itself, LEF-3 and
P143 (Helicase), and an interaction between IE-1...
