Study the impact of gamma irradiation on the vitellogenin gene in Galleria mellonella females by using the comparative CT method
The eggs deposited by oviparous organisms contain large amounts of vitellus, or yolk, which are utilized by the growing embryo. Vitellogenesis is the process of vitellus accumulation involves massive heterosynthetic synthesis of the protein vitellogenin (Vg) and its deposition in the oocyte. Vg leve...
