Ukuwa kwekoloni yeenyosi yingxaki ebalulekileyo eCanada, nakwihlabathi jikelele. Izityalo ezibalulekileyo ezibandakanya i-canola, i-blueberry, i-cranberry, i-almond, i-pear, i-apile kunye nokunye, zixhomekeke kwisinambuzane esikhutheleyo sokuvota. Ngelishwa, intaka iVarroa etshabalalisa iinyosi itya iinyosi kumanqanaba abantu abadala kunye nabaselula, izenza buthathaka kwaye isasaze usulelo olubulalayo lwentsholongwane olukhokelela ekuweni kwamaqela.
Iindleko zokutshintshwa kweKoloni, ubuncinci kwiinkxalabo zethu, zifikelela kwi- ~ $ 400 M ngonyaka eCanada nase-US zidityanisiwe. Okukhona kuthethwa ngeendleko, ukulahleka komvumvuzelwano kunye neshishini lokuvunwa kobusi, kuze oko kubangele ukuncipha kwezityalo zeziqhamo, oko kufikelela kwilahleko kwiibhiliyoni ngonyaka. Abafuyi beenyosi banyanga amathanga rhoqo ngonyaka xa amangolwane enyuka entwasahlobo nasekwindla kodwa kuya kuba nzima kakhulu ukulawula uqhambuko.
Zintlanu kuphela iindlela zonyango ezisetyenziswa ngokubanzi. Enye yezi zibonakalisa iimpawu zokunganyangeki, kwaye unyango olubini luyadleka kwaye kunzima ukulusebenzisa. Izikimu ezisebenzayo zolawulo lwezinambuzane ezitshabalalisayo (IPM) ziyimfuneko ukuze kuthintelwe ukuqala kokuxhathisa kwiintwala nokugcina ulawulo olululo lwamangolwane, kwaye ezi zifuna ukusetyenziswa kokhetho lonyango olwahlukeneyo ngokujikeleziswa. Iprojekthi yeGenome BC exhaswa ngemali, Ukuchongwa kweendawo ekujoliswe kuzo kwi-acaricide entsha ngokuchasene ne-honey bee parasite, i-Varroa destructor inikeza inoveli, isixhobo esifunekayo ngokukhawuleza kwi-IPM.
UGqr. Erika Plettner, umkhokeli weprojekthi kunye noNjingalwazi weChemistry kwiYunivesithi yaseSimon Fraser uthi: "I-acaricide entsha echasene ne-varroa engabonakali inyosi kwaye ingenayo imiphumo emibi kwizilwanyana ezinomqolo. "Iprojekthi yethu ijolise ekufumaniseni ukusebenza kakuhle kwale khompani intsha esifuna ngokukhawuleza ukuba yamkelwe kwaye isetyenziswe." U-Plettner usebenzisana noDkt. Leonard Foster, i-project co-lead kunye noNjingalwazi kwi-Michael Smith Laboratories e-UBC, ukusebenzisa izixhobo zeproteomics ukuchonga i-molecular target kunye nokugqiba indlela, nini kunye nalapho ingasetyenziswa khona.
Impembelelo elindelekileyo yolu phando iya kuba yinto etshintshayo kwishishini lokufuya iinyosi nangaphaya. Ulwazi malunga nendawo ekujoliswe kuyo kwikhompawundi entsha kwiingolwane lubalulekile ekubhaliseni kwabasemagunyeni kwezempilo, oyena mqobo mkhulu ekungeneni kwimarike yale acaricide intsha. Ukuqonda indawo ekujoliswe kuyo kunye nendlela yokusebenzisana kuya kunceda iqela, kunye nabasebenzisi bokugqibela ukuba baqhubele phambili nokuphucula imveliso, ukuqulunqwa kwayo, kunye neshedyuli yesicelo kwiiskimu ze-IPM.
"Ukhuseleko lokutya luyinkxalabo enkulu kumazwe emhlabeni jikelele," watsho uFederica Di Palma, iGosa eliyiNtloko lezeNzululwazi kunye neSekela likaMongameli, amaCandelo eGenome BC. "Phantse isinye kwisithathu sezityalo sixhomekeke kumvumvuzelwano lweenyosi kwaye ukujongana noxhathiso lwamangolwane linyathelo eliphambili lokukhusela amathanga."
Le projekthi iya kuqhuba de kube nguSeptemba 2023 ukuze ukufunda kwangethuba kusetyenziswe kumjikelo olandelayo wovavanyo lwasendle. Le projekthi yaxhaswa ngengxowa-mali entsha yeGenome BC's Pilot Innovation Fund (PIF). Undoqo weqhinga leGenome BC's innovation, iPIF yinkqubo yenkxaso-mali ehambelana nenkangeleko yeenkqubo ezinikezelwa ngurhulumente (aba) kunye nabanye ngelixa ihambelana neemfuno ze 'omics ecosystem esiyixhasayo. I-PIF ijonge ukuxhasa ngemali iseti yeeprojekthi zokwenziwa kwezinto ezintsha ezinokuthenjwa ukuba zibe yimpumelelo.
INTO ONOKUYITHATHA KWELI NQAKU:
- Leonard Foster, project co-lead and a Professor in the Michael Smith Laboratories at UBC, to apply proteomics tools to identify the molecular target and determine how, when and where it can be applied.
- A Genome BC funded project, Identification of the target sites of a new acaricide against the honey bee parasite, Varroa destructor offers a novel, urgently needed tool in IPM.
- Understanding the target site and mechanism of interaction will help the team, and end-users to further improve the product, its formulation, and the schedule of application in IPM schemes.
